    An interesting sort of home made documentary beneath the city of New York.

    pretty fascinating stuff, in my eyes. the first station he explores is Old City Hall Station.

    I was just reading and listening to an NPR story about the same subject a few days ago. they had mentioned the original Canal Street sewer system.

    sure enough, it's about this same guy, Steve Duncan.

    here's the story and podcast where they camp out overnight in the tunnels.

    I once achieved a sprint through the 1/9 train tunnel along 7th Ave and made it one stop, from Christopher Street to 14th Street. it was dangerous, filthy, and exhilarating...
