I'm well aware of the U of I's heat tunnels. It was great fun to go exploring in them when I was a youth. My question was directed to the assertion of downtown tunnels. The closest the university system comes to downtown is a couple dozen feet east of elm between sixth and Idaho ave. Over the years I've been in the basements of most all of the older downtown structures and I've seen no indication of tunnels. I'm not saying they don't (or didn't) exist, I'm just asking for additional information.

I know UI has underground tunnels underneath it. I don't know about downtown though. But what would be the point, I mean, it is only one mile from one end of downtown to the other.
Best Regards,

I'd also be interested in a little documentation on these "underground tunnels through downtown Moscow" When, from where to where, and why?

Name one "underground" newspaper from the "sixties" based in this area...

What an interesting job! It might actually be fun to look at Moscow's
historical porn industry---heaven knows we have other oddities in our
history (Frank Robinson ring a bell? How's about those underground tunnels
through downtown? What about the underground newspapers in the sixties? The
subversive meetings of the MOLES? religious schisms and flame wars?).
Perhaps it is a book. "The Weird History and Current Conditions of a Small
Idaho Town". We certainly have enough local chatracters and color to do it.
And, by the way, Joan Opyr's new book, From Hell to Breakfast, is now out!!!
Yahoo--the adventure continues!
