Apparently there's more going on in Leavenworth, Kansas than we thought.

Link to the Propeller article.

With video from the local news.  Very very cool.

They mentioned slavery and thoughts go to the underground railroad type of thing, but my first thoughts were regarding prohibition and the '20's. It would be convenient for a speakeasy here and there, linked by a network of tunnels.

Just my 2¢.

My thoughts, too! And being right on the river it could've easily been a smugglers' town.

There used to be a similar thing in downtown St Louis. It was last seen in the area below Union Station. There were lots of abandoned store fronts down there. Tools still sitting on benches (I wish I had picked those up!) and an occasional locked door...

When the report started, I heard in my head
"And now Asian reporter Tricia Takanawa..." from Family Guy

But way cool

You're probably very right! Prohibition does make a lot of sense.
