[Vision2020] Tunnels

[Craine Kit]

Actually, the UI steam tunnels are active. They carry steam from the  
boilers at Sixth & Line to most of the buildings on campus. They also  
have wires for things like telephones and some water lines. They are  
very hot, dank, and dreary places with very low ceilings, lots of  
stuff to bang one's head on, and dropoffs to fall into.

I would not be surprised if there were tunnels under the downtown. I  
remember--particularly on Third between Jefferson and Main--metal  
doors which provided access to the basements of many of the  
businesses and "windows" made of glass blocks between the doors.
