Wow, many more tunnels than I knew about! I enjoyed the discussion of the tunnels you had with Feliks Banel on his Cascades of History radio show on Sunday...fun stuff.

Wonderful article, something I am really interested in too as well. As attending Roosevelt High School awhile ago, I was always fascinated by the tunnel that connects to UW. Presumedly built during the war for evacuations.

Thx. Where did the tunnel go? Was it at Roosevelt? I have heard of steam tunnels under UW campus, under/through/near Red Square.

I heard it ran from Roosevelt to UW, I knew the doors were in the basement next to the lockers. It was always off limits. Totally could just be an urban legend, but I heard it so often from students. Now I gotta find it haha

But have they seen it? Nothing leaps to mind though I am sure I have some. Coincidentally, when I was a kid, I cut the grass of one of the main researchers on false memories, Elizabeth Loftus, who was a neighbor.
