In 1998, Nine PBS' Jim Kirchherr went on tours of St. Louis' sewer system, underground tunnels and caves. See rare footage of the Cherokee and Uhrig caves, and learn more about what goes on under St. Louis.

I work in st louis for a contractor of MSD. I have pleasure of seeing many of these places with my own eyes, their size is so hard to appreciate on video

Wow! I had just read a bout the old Lemp beer caves a couple of years ago, so was thrilled to find this! I'd never heard of any of this in all the years I lived in St. Louis, from about '67 til '74. Too bad I didn't hear about it back then, cuz my dad was alive then, and he'd have been all over this! (Don't know if they were taking people through it in that period, though.)

We should reactive the tunnel that came from the northside into downtown under Tucker Blvd. This would be the start of a great new North/South metro line! :]

The tunnel was completely filled in by 2013

Not absolutely sure, but I think the big basement room is under the old 4th and Pine building. It used to be a bank and then a nightclub in the 80's.

There aren't just tunnels down there. There are buildings down there too. I am really starting to doubt we are being told the truth about our history.

Makes me so jealous! I would love to explore these tunnels. Would it be impossible to explore without a key??

Remember when you could take the metro safely? I don't, I was born less than 25 years ago. Its sad what happened here. We need a better stl culture, one where people don't abandon women after they get pregnant and have familts instead.

I grew up in St louis in the early 70's spent a lot of time down town with dad he worked there . Went back in 96 left as fast as I could . The level of Humanity and common respect seems very much difficult for many to manifest . Be Careful out there .

i am closterphopic and scared of heights .i prefer to stand on firm soild ground, no way i am going down in that place or go up that stainless steel Arch

@raimeyewens7518 Ай бұрын

Same here. I did go up the arch and I wish I hadn’t lol. We got in these little egg shaped pods that took us up. And when we got to the top it was swaying 😬😱😬 I was not ready for that. I heard someone on the other side say is anyone ready to go down. I ran over and said me. Told my family I would see them downstairs. I felt like I was going to pass out lol.
