Aug. 28th, 2023 08:09 amSpeaking of secret underground tunnels.
I live in Point Breeze, a neighborhood of South Philadelphia where hipsters like to do poverty tourism. It's not actually that bad; and, save for the lack of plants and trees, I really like it here. Still, it's a working-class residential area with a lot of warehouses. Most of the warehouses aren't sketchy because they're in constant use by contractors who need a place to store things like lumber and tiles and forklifts and so on.
But there's one warehouse that no one ever seems to use. I got curious, thinking that maybe it's one of the "abandoned" buildings where telecom companies house servers in urban areas. Instead, when I drove over to get a closer look, I found a small metal plaque with the University of Pennsylvania logo. I did some digging this past week, and I discovered that this warehouse is where the university hospital's cancer research center stores its biowaste. 🙃
