People actually believe that these tunnels were created just so kids wouldn't have to cross the street? That's a whole lot of trouble to build them in 1904 especially when there wasn't that many cars back then.
It wasn't about just crossing the street like we know it today, it was about crossing the tracks. Most main streets had trolley cars or trains, and people frequently got injured or killed from them. I posted about a similar tunnel crossing in Lorain built for kids going to school.
Morphelia no for the good. But now i think bs. I heard we have so many tunnels and cities under us ran by reptilian people. We was told leave them alone. They will leave us alone. But they eat humans. Why so many go missing. :(. I dunno so much scary stuff in this world. You cant trust anyone
No doubt, and the construction dude that’s Shocked and never seen such a thing….. you know that dude has seen a short haired sign holder stand and Pss in a bar urinal , he ain’t foolin nobody
So basically everyone knew about it except the news channel and city workers? Considering you interviewed a business owner who said they thought it was to their basement and people all said they remember it when it was active and that people sleep in it. Yet somehow you claim it was “just discovered and had no idea it was there”
There are several tunnels that run under the Truman Sports complex. In the 70s we used to explore they are behind Raytown Road where the old Handball courts used to be. And the other one is further up Raytown Road before you would reach Eastern Road by the area where the old Exercise trail used to be. There is a creek that runs behind it and we used to fish the creek and then started exploring the Tunnels. One runs all the way under to the other side of I-70 if I remember correctly. They are stand up tunnels so you can walk through them. And one used to branch off into smaller tunnels and you used to be able to come up where the old Warning track was in Royals stadium but that was before the Remodel. No clue what it's like now.
Agreed, though today's intersection lighting technology renders far it less viable for preservation. Sad, as I hope to preserve ALL aspects of Old Milwaukee, but still 'tis the case. #FearTheDeer #GoPackGo
Whenever you see one of those ancient, massive buildings like Greenwood school, you are guaranteed to find tunnels under it, and around it. There is no city record of the tunnels because the city didn't build them, or Greenwood school, or the buildings across the street from the now empty lot. I don't know who built them, I only know who did not.
It's a shame ppl have to trash everything good. You'd think the ppl who used to hang out or sleep there would be so grateful for a semi-private place, they'd take care of it. But no, make it a trash can instead. *SMH*
The NEWS report said that the tunnel was originally made to get to school safely. When the school closed the tunnel became obsolete. Nothing sinister, it just became part of city history. Suggestion...clean it up, put in lighting, cameras, and add it to the walking history tour.
i TOTALLY agree! There are too many demon chasers these days. thinking everything is some kind of a sinister plot to eat babies and ruin inner city baseball leagues. fukn stupid/ that said, the 911 commission was an utter joke. BYE~
There is a tunnel under my house on Washington Street in Midland TX that goes all the way over to the old Loop 250 truck stop. That's where the tunnel ends. Of course it's just a vacant lot now but if you poke around in the ground you can see where I came up through it. I'm having a steel plate made to cover the hole that comes up through the floor of my house. I Cannot have people getting in
The Brownsville Indiana school which is tore down now has an apartment complex in it replace had a tunnel from the street to it and it's still here attached to the apartment complex where the basement was the cafeteria and still here
We have a giant underground area called Winnipeg Square here, and if it ever gets shut down, I'm sure it'll be known by city planners 50 years later.....you'd just have to look through the GIANT GATE to see it's entrance! Lol
Done in the 1980s? So well after building codes became a thing, would a city let a homeowner just bury an old hollow structure and build right on top of it?
EVERYBODY that grew up in the neighborhood knew what those were.. It was a walk way under the intersection from each corner so the children go reach the school on the corner safely.. They closed them off because they became unsafe from personal attacks on people down were it could not be seen. NOT NEWS.........
they should expand the walkways. towns and cities should have raised or tunnel walkways to keep pedestrians and maybe even cyclists safe from car/vehicle/bus/truck traffic trucks should use truck routes that are seperate from roads for cars passenger rail should have its own tracks seperate from freight rail they should take tunnels like these and install moving walkways like youtube shows other countries seem to have everywhere that the us doesnt seem to have at all. there should be bikes scooters and wheel chair stations every so often in the tunnels. and restrooms/rest stations/rest stops periodically. also tunnels like these should be in every town and city as maintenance/access tunnels to be able to replace water mains and power lines and infrastructure out of sight without having to tear up streets.
Figures what’s done is done 244 years of messing up yeah definitely in the Philippines 5000 years culture and sophistication, the Anto Kumasi on the company🇨🇿🇵🇭
Underground tunnel discovered? Yeah, put chain-link fences over them and they become invisible! Hahahahaha....This story is as special as some of the people commenting. I grew up in Los Angeles and they had pedestrian tunnels all over the city to keep people safe from traffic. They were all eventually fenced-in too because of bad people that did bad things out of public view. I don't know if it's true or not, but somebody once said that there were hidden suction tubes, made to look like air vents, that pulled kids directly to Epstein Island
How is it an eyesore and a nuisance if y'all didn't even know it was there leave alone it was there when your great-grandmother was alive who you to tear down can't stand it THIS IS NOT AMERICA and it truly saddens me George Washington and your other forefathers would be very ashamed of you but you don't care do you
A GODLY TWEET! A GOD OF FORCES! REPENT & BE BAPTIZED EVERYONE OF YOU IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS & YE SHALL RECEIVE THE GIFT OF THE HOLY GHOST! FATHER JESUS STRIPES HEALS US! FATHER JESUS LOVES YOU! LET HIM PROVE RIGHTEOUSLY SO! FATHER JESUS IS GOD!
