What a fucking idiot. I would have kept this nice find to myself. He just had to be an attention whore.
It rubs the lotion on its skin...
Yes, three former mayors of Alton have lived in this house through the years,” Machens said. “I don’t know if any of them knew about this. The house was built in 1890, the tunnel is believed from 1840, so it was here for 50 years. What it was used for, I don’t know. We’ve got maps that go back to 1863 and this house was not there and there was not another house on this property here.”
Lol, I thought it was just a root cellar, but if multiple politicians have lived there....
Calling it: prohibition, alcohol barrel storage.
agreed
Nobody build a 9 ft x 9 ft tunnel to smuggle people through. LOL
Whether for ice storage, a carriage, or part of the Underground Railroad, is anyone’s best guess.
We are fucking doomed as a society. A sizable portion of the citizenry is so retarded and misinformed that they actually believe there were underground railroads hauling trainloads of niggers from the South up to the North in tunnels.
Same ones believe experimental gene altering drugs are going to bring us back to normal. LOL.
Yeah, that was a......yeah. Seriously, why do niggers have to be injected into everyfuckingthing? Jews. That’s why. The kikes have really done a number on this country.
Came to say pretty much the same. Furthermore, this is fucking Illinois we're talking about. A state in the heart of the north; why the hell would it have anything to do with the underground railroad to begin with?
Stupid fucking justice warriors and their nigger worship.
It’s like living in an insane asylum.
I think niggers are the canary in the coal mine. When the niggers start getting hunted, that'll be a sign to the jews that it's time to go.
Wish it was that easy!
Thats what I was gonna say lmao. They imagine thr polar express choo chooing niggers around and white not able to figure ou how so many niggers are ending up north. Its ridiculous...
The author didn't mean a literal railroad you tard
dead nigger storage
the guy who build the tunnel never let his wife buy the coffee because she always buys shit, and hence is why he built the tunnel
“Quick, bring up Muh Slavery!”
Quick! Find Geraldo.
I wouldn't have told anyone. Hell, just start expanding it.
My guess is that it was a creek that was buried. The practice was incredibly common in the 1860s and numerous developments over the years likely redirected or cut off the source further upstream. Seeing how Alton has few tributaries unlike East Alton and the towns past Fairview, this is a plausible explanation. Toronto, Seoul, London, Bangkok and Calgary all have plenty of buried creeks, may of which city planners are either rediscovering as they look to ease flooding or are uncovering in acts of beautification.
