    (that is a really tough question . . .)

    Do you mean the Chinese Underground, OKC?
    Or do you mean the REAL "chinese underground"?
    (and are we referring to, say, 1889 or 2012?)

    Or does the title of the thread imply . . .
    ".....when we needed them"...?
    (like, so when they could work out what
    80mph meant on their abacusses...
    while laundering and starching shirts.)

    Basically it was beneath the current Cox site. Keep in mind that historically downtown progressed (from elite to ruckus-filled) as you went south from Park, to Sheridan, to Main, to Grand (Reno), also serving as the historic basis for today's strong north vs. south divide.

    That has to be one of the more interesting things I have read in awhile. Makes me wonder if there are any other remnants of this that have been overlooked that might still exist.
