Huh thanks, I owe Android Apocalypse an apology. Android Apocalypse, sorry for posting an ignorant contradiction to your internet post, particularly when a quick read showed how misguided my understanding was.

My amazing pirate analogy wasn't really supposed to be about drug addiction or addicts though, I probably hosed that up pretty hard. It's more that we broadcasted ourselves as being a beacon for the scummiest street people in the country, most of them probably not even addicts, and I'll stand by that poo poo all day. Not sure if the bussing thing happened here.

Yeah but if we install bike lanes and put some restrictions on cars, we broadcasted ourselves as being a beacon for the scummiest bike people in the country, most of them probably not even hobbyists, and I'll stand by that poo poo all day. Not sure if busses are a thing here.

Never forget that The Simpsons creator Matt Goering is from Portland, Oregon. In the city's past it was rumored that actual Shanghai tunnels were used to kidnap drunks, who were then forced into labor on ships heading to Asia.

And in the 80's President George H.W. Bush called the city "Little Beirut" due to the sheer number of vitriolic protesters.

Then 2020 happened & the city was labeled an "Anarchist Jurisdiction."

My friend used to work in a pub that had a tunnel that ran about 50 yards to a corner of a shed inside the old West India Docks in London, and nobody's quite sure what it was for. Smuggling seems like the most obvious thing but the shed it ran to was a) on the export dock and people would probably have noticed contraband - at least contraband big enough to be worth digging a tunnel for - being moved all the way over to the export dock, and b) all the high-value (and high-tax) cargo got unloaded in a completely different set of docks almost 2 miles upstream. Also smuggling stuff into London was an absolute piece of piss anyway - it's almost 50 miles from the sea and there were loads of lightermen willing to offload stuff surreptitiously on the estuary and land it at Barking or Woolwich, safely away from the Revenue.

It was probably actually just used to go steal stuff from the export docks - the docks in London, but particularly the West India Docks, were almost always used for importation of unfinished goods but the export of finished ones, and it makes more sense to steal the gin on the way out than the grain on the way in.

What was particularly fun is that literally everyone who'd grown up in the area knew about the tunnel in the cellar of the Blacksmith's Arms... apart from the people who bought it to turn it into a restaurant and the developers of a skyscraper across the road, who were both rather surprised when the latter dug into and collapsed the tunnel, blowing out a wall in the kitchen of the restaurant.

It's the weird Edwardian style play Bart wrote after he broke his leg and thought Ned murdered his wife. The one with the pool.
