Checking out a pair of enclosures that used to give access to an underground pedestrian tunnel that passes below 10th Avenue in Altoona, Pennsylvania. I found these while walking back to my hotel after watching a train, and later noticed at least one other pair while driving along 10th Avenue. They have been replaced with several pedestrian bridges crossing this busy street.

Interesting. Looks like it was a way to get to the other side of the road. Underground

@JamieMakin 3 года назад

Yeah, I think that's all it was, but it's odd that they closed it off since it's still a very busy street. There are a few pedestrian bridges, but they're a few blocks away.

Good morning Jamie. The tunnels were close to pedestrians after multiple werewolf attacks. At least that's the documentary that I saw. 😳

@JamieMakin 3 года назад

Fake news, Dennis! The documentary I saw said they are closed because Bigfoot made it his den! 😳

Yep they are full of water now and have been for about 25 years at least . Rumor has it that they never installed any kind of drainage system .

@JamieMakin 2 года назад

Interesting info, thanks! That would explain why I found a few others around the area that were also fenced off. Must've been built by the lowest bidder?

@@JamieMakin yeah probably haha. My father told me they installed drains so filled up with water and were abandoned. Here's a fun fact under the Jaffa parking lot is a tunnel and a few large rooms . I'm not sure what they were used for but it's a cool thing to know .

@JamieMakin 2 года назад

That is cool to know! Something to look into in the future perhaps.

Cool find I didn't even bother to walk around either and that was right by where I was staying as well

I'd love to ride my eBike around downtown Altoona. I bet there's lots of neat things that could be found. Hope you can explore more next time too.

Good morning, Benson!! Even though in this case "morning" is just after midnight before I've even gone to bed! ☕️⭐️😂

We like short video segments. Try doing 3 or 4 segment videos instead of one longer video. Just suggesting. Love the imaging Jaime! Blessings 👍🏼

@JamieMakin 3 года назад

I've definitely been growing fonder of shorter videos, but I'm not a huge fan of the "shorts" that are under a minute. I think the next batch of videos in the queue hits the sweet spot for time. Will definitely keep in mind your feedback for future trips. Thanks for watching! 😊

And the Altoona Pennsylvania police department has literally just blocks away so it's easier to close things up then to maybe check on them police them put some cameras in them along those lines

Wow that is cool

@JamieMakin 3 года назад

Thanks! It was something I didn't expect to see.

@leah890 3 года назад

We had tunnels at the university I went to just to keep people off the street.

@JamieMakin 3 года назад

If they had these unlocked I wouldn't have had to sprint across the road lol!

@JPVideos81 3 года назад

I remember coming across these for the first time. I heard they were gated up because illegal activities were taking place in them.

@JamieMakin 3 года назад

Ah! That somehow does not surprise me. Perhaps they should have put cameras in them and had cops hide in the bushes instead of gating them up.

Altoonan here - They flooded frequently and the homeless were using them for shelter/bathrooms. They haven't been open for decades. Rumor has it that the city was forced to install these as part of the grant money for the 10th Ave Expressway.
