First New York City Subway (1869)
Manage episode 446127456 series 2474048
In 1869, a crew secretly dug a tunnel under Broadway in Manhattan. That tunnel became a huge attraction that proved scientific potential, supporting Civil War orphans, and eventually fell into disrepair. On this episode, we discuss the First New York City Subway and its creator, Alfred Ely Beach, who was one of those few-and-far-between Good Dudes of History. We also find some great birds and a truly magnificent Garf in the MouthGarf Report. And you better believe we play I See What You Did There.
