I have recently seen in a few threads about how there are "secret" or "lost" tunnels or caves under some cities, ie the caves under St.Louis. how would i go about finding things like this about my old hometown? Im originally from hartville/alliance area and i have been around uniontown quite a bit. but i also lived in the akron area near barberton for a while, and just wanted to know how i could find some useful information to explore anything that may be around those areas.

Ha ha. I can't believe the number of times I have to correct myself when I am driving. My wife gets pissed. Fear is the mind-killer.

Go do some research, read up on the history of your town, find out what industries it used to have, what different districts were developed around, etc. Check on old newspapers or history books for the area, and look up anything interesting you find. Turn off the internet and go play outside. http://spamusement...hp/comics/view/137 Duncantx  Location: Tulsa, OK Gender: Male  |  Re: how do u find stuff? <Reply # 10 on 12/9/2006 4:21 AM >   OH! and EPA superfund sites! their website has a ton of addresses and add that in with google earth and you can find a few good places! ilduce  Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia  |  |  Re: how do u find stuff? <Reply # 11 on 12/29/2006 11:57 PM >   A lot of the places I've found have been through driving along less-used roads. If I see a road that trails off into the woods or old fence/building in the area, I'll look it up on google maps using my blackberry. Word-of-mouth also helps. Ask around, you'd be amazed at how many people are aware of interesting places, but never really thought about exploring them.
