Underground (Cont.) 02

Abandoned railroad line now connecting Collagesity proper with Southside. Yes, there’s now a Southside! (as of 8/8/14).

The tunnel starts near the southeast corner of the Bodega Market and extends underneath and between the Toxic Art Gallery and the Power Tower Gowlery.

A right turn from the tunnel at the bathroom sign leads you to this rather distant location, with attendants along the way extending encouragements such as, “hold it in a little more, you’re almost there!”  It didn’t help that the last attendant had the name I. P. Freely displayed as hovertext above his grinning head. What a sick subliminal joke!

The beginning of the underground trek to the town bathroom was quickly dubbed The Eye of the Needle by locals because of its narrow width. Attendant Greenwich is positioned at the far end. I identify her greenness here with surrounding green Noru hill dirt, recently excavated to make this passage. Greenwich always wants to know “What times are it?” She’s not the attendent who states “Hold in in, you’re almost there” to passerbys because you’re still a long ways to the bathroom from here.

Mid-town Snack Bar again.

Lateral tunnel you have a direct view into from the diner.

South entrance to the main tunnel. Almost 5000 square meters of land remained for sale just below Collagesity. And as of 8/8/14 I own almost 4000 square meters of it (!) Collagesity’s Southside has been brought into being.
