Paul asks:
If you’re heading towards Williamsburg Road on Government, this tunnel is on the left, as you begin going up the hill. Any clue on it’s story?
Is it a tunnel or an old shed? I’ve ridden past it, and others, on that road.
Is it a tunnel or the remains of a basement to a house someone made into a temporary dwelling?
I think it’s the base of an old staircase coming down from a house on the top of the hill. I think it was a storage space under the stairs, but the stairs are now gone. More shed than tunnel. Plus: free hugs.
I think it was a garage for the house above it.
Oh, that’s just where the scary clown lives. Go on in.
Was born and raised in that neighborhood and that was a garage for the house directly behind and above it, high on the hill. Was not ever sure if that was a tunnel leading to the house or just the garage off of Government Road. That row of houses, on both sides of Government Road and high up on the hills, used to be very attractive.
thats a hell of a walk up the hill every day if thats the only parking/garage for that house.
$20 to anyone brave enough to go in, take pictures and report back to us.
It’s the garage for the house above. Those houses are accessed from Bunn Avenue, which runs parallel to Government behind the houses. They are beautiful houses.
LOL @ Alex
what about sending the drone in the tunnel?
Let’s send Mark Holmberg in! He likes going into scary looking places.
I’ll go in, Alex. Who’s with me? If enough people join, Alex, you may have to give me that 20 in all change.
Wait a few minutes and one of our local authors will appear to tell you how it is the home of a vampire. Or some other BS story about the “cave of mystery.”
If anyone goes inside, remember to touch nothing but the lamp!
