I've always been interested in tunnels, too. My girlfriend's from Brooklyn and I used to ride their subway all the time and just stare in facsination at all the tunnels and rooms and hideaways off to the side...totally interesting!

My Mom was born and raised there, too, and was a Rosie The Riveter for Lockheed during WWII, and used to take the Red Line to Watts every weekend to hear people like Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington, and she NEVER heard of any tunnels under L.A.!

Are you sure of this?

As a side remark, in Ashland, Oregon, (southern Oregon) there was an article about an old tunnel that was discovered that Chinese miners had made in the 1800's. They filled it in without exploring it. There's also stories the old timers tell about tunnels that still exist under the local cities, all made by Chinese miners in the 1800's. Fascinating!

Ghost towns are just as interesting, every time I go to Comdex in Vegas I go to Gold Field and Gold Point and explore all the old mines and abandoned buildings.

Is there any books I can read about those old tunnels?

Thanks!

"Is there any books I can read about those old tunnels?"

I have no idea. I've never seen a book on them. But I know they're there.

Have you ever been into the USDC in LA? That building has crazy staircases. Unless you know where they are, you'd never find them.
