goodbye, secret passageway

BubbleShare: Share photos - green toy news

the city of renton is making "progress." brian and i are excited for most of it, except of course, the demise of the dinner train and of our secret passageway. this tunnel has been the main thing that prevents our little neighborhood from having a bustling arterial. it is only wide enough for one car, and you can only go into it from certain directions.

a few weeks ago there was a sign put up saying that it would be closed for construction starting august 1. we learned that it was to be taken out and replaced with a two-lane tunnel. while this shouldn't directly impact the number of cars passing our house, we do expect the streets surrounding us to become much noisier. much to my dismay, they started construction before i got a chance to take proper pictures of our historical, 5 cattle wide tunnel. (its original description).

we'll miss it.
