Secret storage space for the Professors spare doomsday devices? I mean, they repair the Planet Express ship on another surrounding nearby patch of land. Also, if it is the Professors building perhaps he gets revenue for the Slurm sign?...

I should do really, but I have such a habit of checking things in Google. I guess it just doesn't work for obscure things like this though, so lesson learned ...

Hi, welcome to Peel, fantafob ... They sort of did wander about a bit in My Three Suns, and I guess in other eps too. Another off the top of my head is Three Hundred Big Boys. I know what you mean though, I would like them to explore their local surroundings more as well, and a whole ep in which the storyline centres around enriching this part of the Futurama universe would be most welcome in my book!...

That lamp post kind of looks like a futuristic bird house.

To tell the birds if it's full or vacant? Perhaps birds have evolved into super intelligent creatures in the future, and it would probably be for the owls if anything, they're intelligent, right?...

i've always thought that they may use those locations in a future episode. i still hope that they do.
I was just thinking that. I would really enjoy if they did that, like how we saw more of the PlanEx building in How Hermes Requistioned His Groove Back. I think it was the PlanEx building, that bureaucrating area was so huge though...maybe I am mistaken. I just remember the tubes going places, heh.

If it were a little taller I'd say it was a watchtower. But maybe it is both, a home base for the 'Exocoms' from 'Mom's Old Fashioned Video Surveillence Unit'. Those guys who busted Bender.

This was a good catch, I would like them to expore NNY more to integrate some of these background structures and place them into the foreground. I always appreciate the NNY scene episodes. I still don't feel they have explored the city to its fullest.

The thing is, will they explore NNY to its fullest, or are we just blindly hoping that they will as hardcore fans? Would they rather just tell stories like Yo Leela Leela instead? ...

Haha, interesting observation Jezzem. The thing is, will they explore NNY to its fullest, or are we just blindly hoping that they will as hardcore fans? Would they rather just tell stories like Yo Leela Leela instead? ...
Or maybe for people like me the city will never feel like its been explored to the fullest, to me that would occur when those kind of episodes got stale and monotonous.

I asked Eric Rogers, and: @DannyJC13 I'm sitting next to Matt Groening right now. Here is your answer: "No idea."Woo, MG kind of talked to me! Anyway, that's the big mystery solved. And that's a good thing. Now they can make it whatever they want and give it a plotline.

Nice one, DannyJC13! Perhaps your question will have planted the seed of ideas for a potential use of the building in a future ep! We can only hope...

Signoids.
It's Cygnoids.
In which case I blame Google for misguiding me. I typed it into Google before committing to posting it and saw the two top results as Futurama related and assumed that was enough to confirm it was correct. It seems that previous peoples mistakes have mislead me ...
Cygnoids (as the correct spelling) should be obvious to anybody who knows their constellations. However, for the rest of everybody, I feel compelled to point out that much like the designation Earthican, the name denotes their place of origin. They come from the constellation Cygnus. This is sometimes referred to as the Swan. Google Earth actually has a star map that'll let you find it and locate its position relative to you, so that next time you have a clear night you can go look for it.

Well it seems pretty obvious that I don't know my constellations, oh well ...

Looks like a shop. That ground floor window looks designed to display merchandise. Perhaps it is Pottery Barn. Although it might be the Lesbian Coven's charity shop.

Someone must care enough for it to have it rebuilt, cause it was completely destroyed in Benderama: (Also, PE looks really chunky and out-of-shape in that image. )
