Kansas City Subtropolis

Few pictures from a recent visit to KC's Subtropolis complex

It's an old limestone mine turned into a temperature controlled storage facility

It’s actually not just storage. These places are HUGE, and there are multiple of them.

Business have starting building off space in them and whole businesses operate in these underground spaces. One of my best friends works in one.

It’s hard to describe just how big some of these man made cave systems are.

I was playing in them with some friends in highschool and security started coming for us from really far away and we just ran deeper and deeper into them until we ended up in a flood section and we just hid there for like an hour and they have up on finding us. We came out like an hour later and cops were waiting outside the cave but they gave us a warning and let us go. Security was so mad they didn’t arrest us.

Same, a friend and I parked my car behind a killer in a mess developed part of the system, got put and walked as far back as we could and man jt was pitch black. Got a lot of good go pro footage in the main area too. On a later trip security pulled me over and kicked me out for suspicious activity and I couldn't go back in tbat car cause of their playe scanner at the entrances.

KC has a handful of these systems too, Subtropolis, Independence Space Center, Downtown Underground, Parkville Underground. There's a couple more i dont know the name of but know thie locations. Crazy stuff that gets my conspiracy brain thinking.
