"Somewhere in Portland,"

"there’s a very old building, and that very old building has a very, very old basement. An incredible basement, a video-game-level basement, a set-decorator’s dream basement. And when you walk past the janitors office, with the wonderfully decked halls…." --> GoTo The Basement @ cabel.me

I've had two friends that lived in strange places in Portland. Unfortunately, I couldn't find either of them now. One friend rented a room, that was basically an industrial warehouse. He found that there was a door that opened up into a tunnel. He always thought that it had been used to shanghai sailors in the early days. He blocked it off and felt it was too dangerous to go exploring in.

Another friend had a place in NE Portland. There was an apartment on the upstairs of the house. Downstairs, there was a door that led to a tunnel. This one took you about 100 yards or so and came up in another part of the neighborhood. It was likely a whorehouse.
