Secret Exits[edit]

How can a secret exit let in light and noise? Wouldn't that mean it's not a secret? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.60.54.223 (talk) 17:45, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

begging for the entrance[edit]

Removed the parenthesis that was asking for a clarification for the entrance. This is Wikipedia, if you really need a location, go to some UE forum.-DWRZ 04:10, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

tone[edit]

This article is not written in a neutral tone. It needs rewriting to comply with NPOV. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 05:10, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Since November 2006, the article has improved somewhat; fewer POV statements and more encyclopedic tone. Still needs more references for certain assertions, and some rewording for more neutral and encyclopedic tone, but a complete rewrite isn't needed in my opinion. -kotra (talk) 21:03, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

-- Facts listed are also wrong, dubious at best. 99.242.25.241 (talk) 02:57, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please be specific so that we can address them. -kotra (talk) 21:03, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Studies showed that 85% of tunnel dwellers admitted to having participated in cannibalism at one point or another simply to survive.[citation needed]" You've got to be kidding me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.2.245.83 (talk) 10:55, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"The shafts of light create a gallery space for illegal artwork" -- "illegal artwork" - the tone of that phrase doesn't exactly match the rest of the article. Would "street art" not suffice? Alexguitar594 (talk) 17:44, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Changed "Illegal" to "Graffiti."Alexguitar594 (talk) 23:20, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

also and freedom to live rent-free and unsupervised by law enforcement is incorrect — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.247.183.116 (talk) 21:17, 1 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The "Freedom Tunnel" isn't abandoned...[edit]

The 'secret' entrances are anything but secret, some have rather dignified stone facades around the entrences and one even has two stair cases leading down to the enterance, the stairs connect the park to the entrence and go nowhere else. They're all locked (I imagine they always have been, they're probably emergency exits in truth) but you can watch the trains go by if you wait long enough.

I'll see if I can muster my courage (and remember my Wiki account name) to fix the article, it's got a ton of errors.

Jerry Springer Episode[edit]

I kind of remember Jerry Springer doing a documentary on this tunnel during the shows early years. Anyone have any clarity on that? That particular episode is no longer in reruns. LReyome254 (talk) 01:34, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
