What of those ghostly catacombs that lie dormant below city
streets? Those subway tunnels, never finished, never filled with
the screeches of trains and the busy commotion of commuters. Just
there. Dead. You've heard of the subway's demise. The tunnels were
too narrow. The city was too broke. A grand miscalculation. Well,
most of what you've heard is, sorry to say, untrue. The popular
story of the subway's demise is myth-laden and as incomplete as the
original plan. The full story, long buried in mounds of public
records dispersed in the city's libraries, is now revealed. Local
author Jacob Mecklenborg emerges from those dusty tomes with a
fresh, thought-provoking, full examination of the subway's demise
and what its future might hold.
