I was pained by Patricia Marx’s shopping column on Brooklyn in the March 8 issue, but she was correct to highlight the thrilling tours of the Atlantic Avenue Tunnel (also the subject of a 1982 Talk piece by Bill McKibben).

But that didn’t prepare me for these pictures from a tour of Cincinnati’s never-completed subway (via Lawyers, Guns & Money)—they’re a must see.
