MattB, this is awesome. .... and very sad at the same time. I went to PC Central from '67 - '77, ... . kindergarten to 8th grade, before moving over into PC West teritory.
As I mentioned, I had heard of tunnels, but had no idea of their expansive network. My vision was that of a simple walkway between buildings or something.
What's really sad is that the whole time I attended school there, no one ever mentioned the rich history that our school grounds were on, and the surrounding area.
I remember in the late 60's the jr high building on the east side of Grove burned in a late night fire, but the gym was saved.
After the fire jr high students attended school accross the street at the church across the street. When I was in jr high, the old gym was still there and I remember a WPA plaque attached to the front by the doors.
I also remember an old wood frame building that stood along Ann Arbor, from 40th to 39th next to the intermediate building. When I was in 4th or 5th grade, that building was torn down to make room for a cafeteria / multipurpose building.
That wood frame building was very old and at the time was home to the special ed classes.
