does anyone know of this?

back when y2k was happening , it was in the news at one point. somewhere in one of the middle states in america, some person created an underground city. and i can't for the life of me remember where it was. the guy who built it said it could house 800 people . anyone remember this?

thanks

ill look for it and if i find anything ill drop a line in here for ya

but from what i remember; "underground cities" were built during the 1950s and early 1960s here in america *quite a few actually*

but if i recall correctly they never really were "completed" either that or they were just not desireable

they are probably similar to empty bunkers and the sort

ill have to look into it further for you
its a fun subject

here are some prehistoric underground villages

very interesting indeed

from the prehistoric - era *very old*

heres some pics *i think these are found in present day Turkey*









i will continue looking for "Modern" underground cities....may take awhile im having a rough time 'google' can suck sometimes

but...as you can see; pre-historic man was obviously quite advanced

well ... according to this www.nationmaster.com...
place... alot of cities have "underground" sections that make everything accessable from underground

they even call them underground cities

and it gives a list of known modern cities
ill paraphrase some of it for ya
