| | | http://3.bp.blogsp...+Fort+and+View.jpg Hollow streets, hollow streets! This is from the construction in the late 80s of the downtown mall, Where this was originally posted, a commenter remarked "I miss the tunnel under broad street" I know somewhere back on these pages the mall has been discussed, but do any older Victorians remember some sort of pedestrian tunnel that went under broad before the mall went in?

| Exactly. Fort St. From the foot of Warf, running to Douglas (at least). Connected on either side by these side doors. Think of a spine with ribs. One of the old city workers I interviews spoke of this tunnel...or what remained of it when he and his crew were excavating Fort St. when they were sinking the power and telephone lines. Excellent find, Matthias. ALSO: the building that used to house Lens and Shutter is gone now, and I imagine there's something going up in its place, but if the old building was anything like the others that lined the street, it too would have had a connecting doorway that lead to the Fort. tunnel.
