Pint diving. IF they serve legal pints there.


you have the right idea!




We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained we must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be by the better angels of our nature.

An abandon floor in Chinatown. Runs the whole length of the building.

Stairs lead to a trap door to an above occupied floor.

Building on the left one small building, building on the right main building, center picture an add-on room to main building. Above the middle building pic you can see a wall is added above it - then a roof has been added enclosing this area. From the outside it looks like one building.

Word was there was one of those highstakes gambling/druglord dens beneath the building to the west of this. I used to work in the coffee shop (now revoltingly flowery tea shop) that inhabits the ground floor, and there aren't any access points within the premise. I got to see pictures from the reno (bosslady had a before and after album, it was empty for years before) and the floor appeared to be uninterrupted cement. This enclosed courtyard was our garbage room (Chinatown mice are twoonie sized!!) When you go into the room north of this, there looked to be old boilers/generators/furnaces.

Did you get a look in the "boiler" room? I think I remember a newer concrete pad, but the boilers were sunken a bit/original floor maybe? I never got to poke around much because of foot traffic (from restaurant above) but the room looked promising. I guess that raises a few questions about chinatown's underground spaces. Where elsewhere in the city connected basements/sidewalk storage may have formed tunnels (or traversable rooms in series) Chinatown looks to have many concrete floors. Can you pour concrete over old building structure, like over an old crawlspace or basement and leave it intact/not fill it with gravel? The tea house and bubble tea shop for sure are basement-less. I just bring this up to further discussion on the form tunnels could take under chinatown. Interconnected/gated basements always seem the most likely source of tunnel reports (less sneaky and legit uses). But if most floors are solid, then a tunnel with only one exit and one entrance seems more likely/and would also be harder to locate.



Also, what level is the floor in the first pics? (ground/second/basement? Is it one of those fabled chinatown half-height floors?)

Happy New Year tunnel forum!

2Dog, great photos! It reminds me of a place that me and TacDical found a while ago down by rock bay. Keep up the good work!

So apparently there's a film screening at this year's Victoria Film Festival titled...wait for it...

Beneath the Garden City.

It's a short documentary about...wait for it...secret tunnels under the city of Victoria.

Now that the idea has been successfully franchised, I'm going to make another film called Behind the Garden City. After that, I'll make Beside the Garden City. And then Between...On Top Of...Around...Within the General Proximity Of.

I'll be at this screening. Stay tuned.

This I would like to see.....sober, and without pepper spray in my pocket on my pants and in my eyes. It's a bad idea for me to take the train down island just after running off another batch of fuel! I would like to bring some gear to trade as well, rubber boots (I collect gear, even if it doesn't fit) , mask's, lots of other fun stuff.

I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems weird and scary to me, and it'll happen to you, too!

Oh Jesus...here we go. Should I activate Directive 28 C.1? Send out the press release? Notify proper authorities? You do remember what happened the last time you were in town, right? And I'm not referring to the four dozen hens you released into the Empress. It was that other thing. You remember that one, right?

Good news goes with bad, the city is taking an interest in preserving these lovelies- but with inflatable liners?!

“We’ve just got the go ahead to do some restorative work on these brick structures,” Coghlan said.

The work, valued at $1.3 million for 2011, comes after a lengthy assessment. From 2006 to 2008, the city ran Ninjaklutz down the pipes. They’ve since been categorized based on repair needs.

Between now and June, crews will go in to touch up cracks and crumbles with new bricks and mortar. Those in need of more serious repair will have to wait until the right expertise can be found.

Dwarfs are the best choice for old world work, whether it be stonemasonry, straw roof rethatching, unicorn milking or shoe recurling.

Really...? I always thought gnomes were better suited for this, given their delicate hands and gentle disposition.

Of all the times I've hired a unicorn milker I've found Dwarfs to be the best. Trolls and Goblins are an obvious poor choice, given that horrible abuse case from a few years back that shut down the old NilBog Unicorn Dairy. And true, Gnomes do have a fantastic disposition, but they also become gitty and irrational after prolonged exposure to any manner of horse tits. The Dwarf, therefore, (just from personal experience mind you) remains the best option.
