"The Cosgrove Report", the book that originally motivated Bob Daimond, is a novel by G.J.A. O'Toole. While based on historical facts, I'd like to know how a literary work could motivate Mr. Daimond to spend so much time exploring Brooklyn for lost tunnels.
just came from the RatArt exhibit in the tunnel on May 16,2009. It was unbelieveable the numbers of people who participated(more than 230) and those who kept asking when the next exhibit would be. People are truly fascinated by this tunnel and we ended up turning people away because of lack of time.
