Phelps Grove
There are some pretty neat tunnels under this park, but watch out, Hoboho tribesmen set up camps there.
No one should brave the underworld alone.

RE: Phelps Grove
Where at? I've always heard about tunnels at Phelps Grove, but I can't really think of any.
RE: Phelps Grove
The tunnels are pretty cool... Also a long section of Fassnight creek was covered up eons ago heading east from where Jefferson Ave. crosses it. The crossing is right next to some commercial buildings or chruch I can't remember...

RE: Phelps Grove
Oh yeah, I've been all through there. It's basically the same ditch as the one by the french fries, which is a part of Fassnight Creek, I'm thinking. You just have to go the opposite direction, West I believe, away from National and the art museum and through the park. The tunnel runs under some kind of church (Lutheran, maybe?) and through a couple of neighborhoods, coming out in amongst some houses later on. It's actually pretty long, and you can walk the length of it stooped-over, with occasional tall parts.
Seriously though, did you really see hobos down there? I never got the impression that anyone actually went down there. Not to live, anyway.

Oh yeah, I have been in that one, actually. In fact, I had a good ol' time with Raven one night shining a laser light at the kids playing basketball in that churchSertile wrote:Oh yeah, I've been all through there.

That tunnel going west of the Phelps Grove Park in Fassnight Creek ends at Jefferson Ave.

I don't think it would be that great of a place to live. When it rain there can be some major water moving though those.Sertile wrote:

Re: RE: Phelps Grove
Yup, they're down there, but I didn't see "evidence" i saw them actually there. They probably can't set up permadwellings there, not like in other parts of the city, but, on nice nights they probably serve as decent shelter.Sertile wrote:

RE: Phelps Grove
hobos certainly wouldn't live down there...
we need to have a homeless person respect thread...seriously..most of these people are homeless by choice......because they'd rather die than submit to a 9-5 lifestyle doing something they hate to buy stuff they don't need to impress people they don't know.

Re: RE: Phelps Grove
Both teams stopped playing and they all ran out of the building to see who was screwing with their game. We just ran down into the tunnel. It was pretty funny.atron wrote:Ok so did the kids think they were being snipered or something or did they just look around like a bunch of retards trying to find the laser!
