Just want to chime in here, Quantokitty, that you've had done a great job making these posts, supporting them with evidence and asking questions. This is exactly what this board is for. Kudos!

good stuff! don't forget your Luminol!

BTW/ How WIDE are these tunnels? big enough for a golf cart?

I believe there are pictures of some of them in the articles I posted. They're not as big as the tunnels in Dupont Circle, but they're plenty big enough for a golf cart. They're bricked over and a lot more pleasant than roaming around in the sewer system.

Those bricked over tunnels were common in the old days because the would come in and tear the street up, build the walls and arch of tunnel with brick, then backfill the dirt over. Its an ancient Roman technique. Its strong, so you never see em collapse and they just kinda sit there waiting to be found. Just watched a history channel thing about underground NYC.

So it's a Roman technique. Great to know. Yes, well, the articles all saw the tunnels were expertly done. It wasn't shoddy work. Thanks for the input.
