We lived on the 900 block of Edgewood and would pass through both tunnels - the one under the feeder canal at the end of our street and the one under the railroad tracks near Homan Ave - when we went to my grandmother's house on Hillcrest.<br /><br />Thanks for all the great items on your site!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16179201130759024812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19041693.post-56292693666624861182013-01-31T19:25:28.658-05:002013-01-31T19:25:28.658-05:00Tom,

Just to clarify, this is not the bridge/tunnel on Parkside Ave next to Edgewood Ave. The wing wall on that tunnel is concave, while this one is convex. Also, that one has columns, while this one does not. Once again, great pic.Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00953524541243594564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19041693.post-59608327195649072602012-05-10T14:38:47.688-04:002012-05-10T14:38:47.688-04:00Hi Tom: I lived two blocks from the tunnel on Cart...Hi Tom: I lived two blocks from the tunnel on Carteret Avenue. We walked through it to the lower entrance to Cadwalader Park. I too cannot imagine what the area looked like before it was built. My grandparents, Emilie and David S. Hutchinson moved into the new house on Carteret in 1900. I wonder what it looked like on Parkside then? RegardsSally Logan Gilmannoreply@blogger.com
