Hi all.
I'm new to these parts but whilst doing some research into the Victoria tunnels, of which the other thread has been most helpful,I found myself working on a show at the Vogue Theater in Vancouver ( I do live sound ). While down in the "pit" ( the area under the stage where we run cabling and they store crap, I came across a large concrete ramp that becomes a tunnel, leading aways from and out toward the back alley of the Vogue ( between Granville and Seymour ). The tunnel appeared large enough to even stand in, and looks like it carries on far past the alley, and most likely under the buildings behind. As time was an issue, I had only a chance to shine my flashlight down from the mouth, but if the opportunity presents itself, I will definitely return for a closer look.
Anybody else know what the tunnel may be, or has been down it?
I'm sure the ghost in the Vogue won't mind us looking......

I used to do lighting work at the Vogue fairly frequently. I heard about the tunnel but when I was there it was blocked off by a bunch of the crap in the pit, so I never got a chance to explore. Though I did get a chance to explore all over the Vogue, which was quite interesting in itself, it was about 1998-1999 when I was there, right when they were doing all the reno to bring it back to it's former glory. That's why there was piles of crap in the pit and in the other underground areas.

If you ever do get the chance to poke around more into it let us all know what you find.

Cheers!

Sounds awesome, I cannot , unfortunately offer any input, but it sure raises some questions for me. I keep hearing about certain tunnels under Vancouver,like the one under the Armoury and under the Post Office, has anyone been in these and are there more ? What are they like And how far do they run? I think that the one under the Armoury must be tha Dunsmuir tunnel.

The one under at the Post Office runs all the way to Waterfront station (that's how mail used to come up from the trains, for a brief period of time). It's maintained, because it is leased from the city, and only opened for filming and for the annual postie halloween party. Apparently, it's locked up pretty good (at least on the post office end), since it's in the basement, near the customs part of the p.o.

The story I heard was they were for moving the "stars" from the stage to the hotel that used to be behind the theatre when it was first built.

I recently e-mailed the contact person on the Vogue Theatre website asking for some information on the tunnel. The person just e-mailed me back about 5 minutes ago and said that there is no tunnel. Just a crawl space and dressing rooms and such.What's up with that? Do you think they are hiding this fact or maybe this guy just doesn't know.N.

The guy I met had no idea about the tunnel,I had to ask a Van Sun reporter to get the scoop.
It is a very obvious tunnel,and its blocked off under the alley.Anyone that says it does'nt exist is plain old lying.
Jesus,a half tunnel that goes to a bricked off wall?WTF else would it be?
