Nah, I like your idea better.
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

How does a city lose 2,500 feet of tunnels under its streets?
North Miami Beach would like to know.
Over a four-year period, the city contracted with a construction company to build 254 manholes -- the tunnels that run down from street level to utility pipes 8 to 10 feet below.

I'll join the rescue party if you don't return.
About a mile from my home there is a large drainage tile and basin. As very dumb kids we'd play in these tunnels. One summer we built a fort on top of the biggest cistern, then it rained one day while we were away and we came back to find a small lake and all our stuff we'd left in it, under 3 feet of water!
So, I'd pass on the building something part of the plan. LOL
I had a summer job in college inspecting manholes and sewer systems for a city. Even in a medium-size midwest town 100+ years of people building stuff underground and keeping shoddy records results in a lot of surprises.
Are you tellin’ me ya gotta connect da manhole to a PIPE?! Hey, who knew!?/s;)
At least Martin was paid in full during his leave of absence....

makes a person wonder about NYC. There’s gotta be nearly as much city under the ground as above ground. Probably half of it lost and forgotten. I wonder how many times they run a pipe THROUGH a pipe and wonder what the heck that pipe was they just ran their pipe through...lol
Corruption in government??? Surely you jest! SURELY!
Sounds stupid but think how many times underground lines are chopped through.
All their pipes went down the tube along with the rest of the taxpayers money.
What ‘we’ are you talking about? Are you and your husband having a baby or is there something big in the offing that will affect us all?
It sounds interesting anyway. Make sure there are no other access points, or seal them off yourself, reinforce any weak points and build your own bat cave. Who knows you might even find utilities you can tap into. lol
Well, when you can’t find the hole you can’t lay pipe.
Stop speaking jive....
I like that.
Hmmm... Brick and mortar tunnel, big enough for a small truck, runs from the river into town, but the city has no records? If you find any 80 year old scotch down there, I’ll take it off your hands.
All conservatives great and small when the elections come in about 20 hours from now.

We'll hold it at mameluke's house. I'll bring the pretzels, you bring the beer.
Oh, OK. We had our primary election here last month.
For a while I worked for a company that made systems for remote sewer inspection and repair. “No dig” technology, they call it.
One major function of the systems was to document the exact location and dimensions of each line inspected, and to integrate that into a municipal utility database.
