There are as many as 1,400 miles of sewers under St. Paul, and KARE11 peeks into them.

One of my neighbors is the son of a worker who was on the crew that laid St. Paul’s first sewer line down Payne Ave ca. 1900. Stanley, the son, is 85. Stanley also remembers when the area around Hillcrest was still a dairy pasture (ca. 1950).

Not too off-topic but Tokyo’s “underground” is pretty impressive. It’s a flood control system, not a sewer system, though:

I love g-cans! That was the first thing I thought of when I read this!

The second of course was all the cool stuff at the (sadly seemingly-abandoned) actionsquad website.

I wish I could hang with those folks.

(*Yawn) whoopee. Another non-news story by the self-esteem journalists from the KARE bears station.

Those Tokyo pics are pretty great.

And that actionsquad website makes me wish I was a bit younger and a lot less afraid of confined spaces.
