Abstract
Massive stars interact with the ISM to form interstellar structures with a wide range of size and complexity. Our understanding of the physical processes involved in forming these structures remains incomplete. Often puzzling ISM problems in the Galaxy are hand-wavingly ascribed to "difficult observation" problems. However, interstellar structures in the Large Magellanic Cloud can be studied with great clarity and detail, allowing ISM problems to be unambiguously identified. We discuss intriguing ISM problems involving wind-blown bubbles, supernova remnants, superbubbles, supergiant shells, and the large-scale hot phase of the ISM.
