Weekend Tunnel Forecast: Closures

thanks for this post. on my way into downtown this morning i remembered the warnings just as i was about to take glendale to the 2nd street tunnel...temple became my saviour.

oh yeah, and the Run for Money thing....whatever it was...i was probably in it numerous times. there were people with cameras running all over the areas i was touring this morning. look for my infamous orange jacket...

At one time, there were plans to reconstruct all of the Third Street Tunnel - following what was rebuilt in the first phase of Cal Plaza. It was said to be seismically unsound and is now over a century old. During construction, the harder grey colored clay hidden beneath buff clay caused the boring machine to disintegrate and the contracting company had to have the balance dug out by hand. There was a ceiling collapse at one location during the digging, if I recall correctly from reading accounts in the Builder and Contractor Newspaper (available at the Central Library on microfilm). p.s. - good luck with those gawd-awfull microfilm reading machines. AWFULL!

Love it. Just love how someone in my building wants to know how to clean the windows. I think I'm in tunnel closures remarks. Why won't my buddies on the 10th floor answer thier door?!? Check out my blog everyone. I'm the concierge at the Downtown Standard.

love it or leave it!!
