I was pained by Patricia Marx’s “shopping column on Brooklyn”:http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/goingson/2010/03/what-to-buy-in-brooklyn.html in the March 8 issue, but she was correct to highlight the thrilling “tours of the Atlantic Avenue Tunnel”:http://brooklynrail.net/proj_aatunnel.html (also the subject of a 1982 “Talk piece”:http://www.newyorker.com/archive/1982/11/01/1982_11_01_033_TNY_CARDS_000333539 by Bill McKibben).
But that didn’t prepare me for these pictures from a tour of “Cincinnati’s never-completed subway”:http://queencitydiscovery.blogspot.com/2009/03/cincinnati-subway.html (via “Lawyers, Guns & Money”:http://lefarkins.blogspot.com/2010/03/queen-city-subway.html)—they’re a must see.
