I really appreciate these looks into El Paso's past.
Really great stuff that I'm sure is not hard to come by. Any chance of looking into the story about the cavern under the Murchison street area?
I don't know exactly when it first was discovered, but supposedly workers laying down sewer lines in the area tapped into a huge cavern with running water, but were told to cover it up.
