He and his wife were watering the yard on Monday. When they came back outside to move the sprinkler, it was gone. A hole had formed in the middle of their lawn about three feet across and their sprinkler was at the bottom of a tunnel that had collapsed.
They agree the structure was built after 1909 because railroad ties were used in the construction. That year is when the railroad first came to Lubbock from Plainview. Right now, the function of the structure is anyone's guess.
"What it was used for, it would be nice to know, it really would be because it's a mystery. It's just in a very unexpected place," said Dr. Tidwell.

“If gold is involved the gummit will lay claim to it.”
Only if they know about it. That’s the trick. Don’t call them.
they can use a snake camera...Snakes? I hate snakes.
Wonder if it was an aqua-duct? ....No he’s still selling Insurance. AFLAC!
Dry counties are so called because whiskey is not for sale. It says nothing about how much whiskey drinking is going on. My own family hometown of Benton County, Arkansas. Dry county to this day. Whiskey consumption considerable. Of course when the Baptists drive over the state line, they don’t recognize one another in the liquor stores.
Too late. Already a news story.
“He and fellow curator Dr. Robert Tidwell are stunned by the discovery.”
Someone’s beeber was stuned!
Peripatetic zombies.
With your beer goggles?
That was my next question ;0)
It’s not dry any more!!! Just changed the law last election cycle. I didn’t mind driving to Springdale for beer one bit, it was a nice change from “the Sodom of the South” aka Atlanta, from where we moved. As my friend, who moved here from Detroit, once put it so nicely, “Where I’m from there’s a liquor store on every corner. Down here, there’s a church on every corner.” And what a change in atmosphere that is! Sadly I fear that we are going to face a major battle for the soul of this place, now that the art musuem has opened and the attendant low-lifes have begun flocking. Only a matter of time until the rainbow flags start going up.
When we looked down , our sprinkler was at the bottom and twenty Mexicans were drinking from the hose and looking up at us.
Good one!
Thanks.
M17X Alienware...nice!
And why am I not at all surprised that under the very cool snake is a mega-hip red-backlit keyboard, and that you've got about forty bazillion things in your Windows systray, and a score or more of open tasks.... so you've got lots of horsepower and RAM.... meaning that must be one hell of a computer setup.
Am I right?
Prohibition was what I thought of.
Would have been nice if the clown who wrote this piece had given us some dimensions for the tunnel.
LOL, looks like.
