We’re putting together a map of unofficial locations that deserve a historical marker. We can’t wait to show you the finished product, but in the meantime, we thought we’d share a submission:
“Tandy Center Subway. The only privately owned subway in the US from 1963 to 2002. It connected Leonard’s Department Store to parking lots.” — H.L.
