                               “X” marks the spot
                                        
One other thing about FAU (Florida Atlantic University) [1] being an old
airport [2]—when ever a runway is decommissioned, large Xs are painted [3] on
the runway to signify a no longer used runway. 

This part of the runway [4] is now a parking lot (albeit a long narrow
parking lot). I would tend to drive out to one of the large Xs and park my
car on it. Silly perhaps, but hey, why not?
