I don't know what the original poster had in mind, but at least one of the
creeks in Moscow goes underground somewhere near the junior high, and comes
out near Lilly Street. This is a very large culvert. During dry season,
could be considered a tunnel?

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,
Donovan

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

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!
