I honestly don't know much about them, other than they exist. I've always been really leery of trying to explore them. As someone way above high school age, I would really, really, really hate to get caught trespassing there :P

I just looked at your site Violent Ray. Looks good so far and I'm not seeing how the Jordan Creek stuff has been copied from this site. I would like to point out however, that the official ownership of the Jordan Creek Tunnel running through downtown is under question right now. Frisco no longer exists, and hasn't existed since the 1960's when Burlington Norther bought them out, but they did build the whole tunnel, though be it in stages from the 1920's to the 1960's. I'm currently looking into this matter and seeing if the city had any tax dollars at work on the covering of Jordan creek between Boonville and Main in the 1920's as this area was where the flooding happened that prompted the covering of the creek in the first place. Also to point out that even though Frisco constructed the tunnle, it's not to say that they actually owned the property of the creek running through it, therefore it may have always been public property.

Due to the bastardliness of city officials sometimes when asking for records regarding pubilc funds being spent on projects, it may be a while before I can know all. I'm also sending an e-mail (again) to the assessor's office to see if they know who currently owns the tunnel.

Also no one should worry about getting "in trouble" for being in the Jordan Creek Tunnel. The cops don't care. If they did they'd be busting everyone who went down there. When the cops do (if they every do) go down there their looking for someone specific who's running from the law, or that their looking for a drug dealer they've been watching. If they come upon you, just act natural and do what they ask and be polite. If you're actually doing anything illegal in the tunnel they will bust you for what ever it is your doing but they won't slap a tresspassing charge on you.

What I worry about is comming upon any dangerous people in the tunnel... that's why I don't go alone.

You might try not doing that to dangerous people in the tunnel, they will probably leave you alone. Just use a sock or a towel or something.

I go alone all the time. But then, I work on the assumption that I am by far the most dangerous entity in the tunnel.

Are you asking about the catacombs under Central HS? If so, I've been there, but I can't exactly tell you how to get there... I was there for a speech tournament once in HS, and one of the things my friends and I would always do was explore the schools we visited, top to bottom. There were two interesting things in Central, if I remember correctly - the tunnels, and some kind of phantom stairway. The phantom stairway was located in a stairwell above the normal stairs, and didn't seem to go anywhere, though we did boost a guy up there to check it out. It was probably done away with in the renovations, anyway.

Now, the tunnels run directly under the main building, and were easily accessible by going through a janitor's closet in the basement level, at least at the time. Of course, this was like 5-6 years ago, but that's the best I can do.

Thanks Man i was looking in the bottom floor and there was a hatch at the far end of the hall i asked one of the teachers" what do you thinks under here" she replyed in a matter of a second " Nothing What are you still doing here anyway" . Theres also a really big Attic it is in the old building and is easly accessed by the big room ( i think its the sound room ) in the Aditoryum.

Yeah, a lot of schools will have weird stuff like that. My old HS had a whole auditorium up on the top floor that had basically been abandoned and cut up into classrooms. There was a stage and everything, and when I climbed up into the ceiling I found an old projection booth. There was basically a whole extra floor up there.

They used to use the attic for class rooms before they built Parkview. The original part of Central that is on Jefferson and Central originally had the auditorium in it. I have a 1914 year book where they added on the third annex (the part at Central and Benton that matches the other side) and that was pretty cool to see... Central looks very different without that auditorium on the front of it!
