<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As a member in good standing of the Latah Co.
Historical Society, stories about Moscow and the surrounding areas past interest
me. I was hoping to hear lurid tales of secret entrances to passages
connecting opium dens, speak easys, and sporting houses to city hall or the
courthouse, not to call anyone out as a prevaricator. I'm sorry if my
question put a chilly winter wind up anyone's skirt.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Oh, for Pete's sake! This forum has gotten so
self righteous and up-in-arms, one can't even make a joking reference to
"urban legend" without having to provide nine thousand proofs! ROTFL!!!! Stop,
Stop, it's making my ribs hurt!!!! It's like watching a zombie movie--too
stupid to watch, too amazingly ridiculous to ignore!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Surely, folks who have been in Moscow a while
have "heard about someone who knew someone who saw the undergound passage
between the building (X) and the building (y) undergound in downtown Moscow
before they got covered up"? I've only been here about 25 years, and have
heard this urban myth....</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As for the "underground newspapers", what were
all these old hippies (this poster being one) who came to Moscow to
finish their lives doing in the sixties? There were "underground newspapers"
everywhere. Granted, most had a run of two copies before the mimeo machine
fumes put them out for the count, but they must have been in MOSCOW? They were
in PULLMAN....the last bastion of the Ole Hippy cannot go undefended!!!
(That's a joke, Son. Don't sue me)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Y'all need to get over yourselves, get less

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>

<TD vAlign=top>I know UI has underground tunnels underneath it. I

Dutch city fears loss of pornography archive<BR>> By TOBY
STERLING<BR>> Associated Press Writer<BR>><BR>> The
municipal pornography archive in the Dutch city of
Leeuwarden is<BR>> missing and officials fear it may be
gone for good.<BR>><BR>> Spokesman Erik Krikke of the
city's historical center said the archive -<BR>> which
contained photos, drawings and erotic texts with a
connection to the<BR>> city - may have been taken home
"accidentally" by an employee or visitor.<BR>><BR>>
"We're hoping that someone will say 'Hey, I have that in my
attic' and<BR>> bring it back," he said Thursday. "No
questions asked."<BR>><BR>> Krikke said the collection
was small enough to have fit in a moving
box.<BR>><BR>> Mayor Ferd Crone of Leeuwarden, 87
miles (140 kilometers) north of<BR>> Amsterdam, told
local media he had been unaware of the collection's<BR>>
existence and was surprised it was gone.<BR>><BR>>
Krikke said the bulk of the archive had been assembled by a
"fanatic"<BR>> curator at the historical center, mostly
during the 1960s and '70s. Items<BR>> such as pictures by
local photographers and artists would be difficult
or<BR>> impossible to replace.<BR>><BR>> The
collection included a copy of the rare February 1998 edition
of Dutch<BR>> Playboy, Krikke said. It featured girls
from each of 11 Dutch cities along<BR>> the route of the
country's most beloved ice skating race, the<BR>>
Elfstedentocht. One of those girls was from
Leeuwarden.<BR>><BR>> Asked whether he thought it was
unusual for the town to have a pornography<BR>>
collection, Krikke said "yes" - and that made the loss
greater.<BR>><BR>> "Actually, we don't have one
anymore," he said.<BR>><BR>>
