In my misspent youth, we used to kayak deep into the STORM sewers that emptied into the Des Plaines River... some went for miles.

I crawled in the sewer drains when I was a youngster.

At my university, there were old, disused steam tunnels connecting all the older buildings on campus.

A small group of us explored them, and we even found an unlocked path into the University President’s office. At this point, we realized the nature of our trespassing, and possible consequences, so didn’t press our luck.

We weren’t the only ones. We found graffiti and beer cans / liquor bottles from as early as the 1940s down there.

In the “Beauty and the Beast” TV show there was a whole kingdom under ground.

Investigators are baffled. They made up some lie; it was just people that lost something down manhole.

Maybe they’re trying to get free cable. Utilities often share tunnel lines so they don’t have to dig new routes. Or they could be tapping phones.

Maybe there's a whole other city down there. You know, like when you go
on a cruise ship?

In NYC, inside or outside the sewer, how do you tell them apart?

NYC coos as useless as London cops. I think they are setting up a terror attack of some sort or a gigantic heist. Is the Pink Panther in New York?

There was a famous 1954 HerbBlock cartoon (leftist Herbert Block the cartoonist) of Richard Nixon crawling out of a sewer. When the outraged Nixon saw it in the Washington Post he canceled the subscription so his young daughter Tricia wouldn’t see it or future ones.

Library of Congress site:
Published in The Washington Post, it targeted his “soft on communism” campaign tactics, featuring his signature five o’clock shadow and coining an era of scathing political illustration.

There was a big one near where I grew up in West Nashville that I could ride my bike through! (So long as you remembered to duck under that *1* pipe that crossed the path).

NYC obviously needs an underground tunnel precinct with a way to tax and control any economic activity.

Cops say they’re probably “treasure hunters”.

Maybe they’re geocaching.

There must be laws against it. Imagine the liability factor for cities with weirdos skulking around in the sewers. The insurance companies must be freaking out.

Gio, this morning on WFAN, said these are Knicks fans coming out as they’ve been down there since the last Knicks championship - pretty funny.....
