PA HIDDEN ROOM FOUND

[Citiboy289]

Interesting read about a Hidden room found In PA Yahoo!

looks like an old wine cellar or maybe a cellar for making and storing beer. Could have been used for those other things that they talk about, but I doubt it was built for the 'underground railroad' or for a 'speakeasy' though the original cellar could have been repurposed for those issues. I sort of doubt the underground railroad part, because the building seems to post date slavery. ""the deed indicates the demolished building was constructed between 1870 and 1880.""

Y'all hit it on the half shell...so to speak...

The Underground Railway is most likely a 'Breaking News' tactic instigated to obtain brownie points in the news world...

I think most news is enhanced because they (news world) think most free-thinking-readers won't believe the normal news dribble...

and as already said, it perks up peoples ears during the news teasers
