We'd heard rumors about Kansas City's mysterious 8th Street Tunnel since they rediscovered it. This abandoned streetcar tunnel had been essentially lost for forty years until a local realty company found the sealed entrance and reopened it. Actually two twin tunnels, the 8th Street Tunnel is well over a hundred years old, with one tunnel being built in 1888 and the other around 1903. Thanks to a few friends of ours in Kansas City, we were lucky enough to get a peek at the historic tunnel.
