Here we go again. Here's another half-assed blog post, questioning whether Ogden City's notorious downtown tunnels ever actually existed:
Here's your blogmeister's take on this:
Speaking as a home-grown native Ogdenite, I can personally attest that I've seen evidence of the tunnels first hand, people. Years ago, downtown Ogden sidewalks featured featured glass panels, designed to illuminate the tunnels from above. You'd have to be fairly long in the tooth (like me) to remdember this, of course. Go to any of the old bars on 25th street, however, and ask for a tour of the basement areas. What you'll find there are recently added brick partitions, clearly designed to seal off access from these tunnels. The evidence still exists; and it doesn't take much digging to flush out the evidence.Embrace your wonderful historical legacy, Ogden Lumpencitizens!
