Yes, the observant in Portal 2 will be able to pinpoint exactly where GLaDOS’s testing site sits underground. Turns out it’s in a salt mine in Northern Michigan, likely only a few hours away from me in Ann Arbor (at least until I move at the end of the month).

Also, we learn that Cave Johnson was the best shower curtain salesman of 1943, another invaluable detail.
