The Chicago beef stand I mention is Susie’s, at 4126 West Montrose Avenue. I believe it’s now a taco stand called Taco Pros Cocina.
Photos of the tunnel mentioned in this episode:
The entrance. My friend Lee and I were the first in. (My nickname is, and still is, Ogre.) Later, we shared our secret with a couple other friends. The “TR” stands for Tunnel Rats.
I looked into the tunnel. Man, we were dumb!
I was so happy to see everything still there. So many time, memories shift over the years. I think I know who “Rob” is in the first image. No idea which Jason it was…or if it was even one of my friends.
I thought I was so damned funny writing STOP VANDALISM!!! in and act of…vandalism.
