[edit] Wishlist

What I am really looking for is information on the tunnels in the hillside along Florence Blvd. You know those woods? There's old tunnels up in those cliffs, which I heard were either for freed slaves back, back in the day, or moonshining in the 1920s. Either way, I can't find anything online!
