- === Caverns in Highland Park ===	+ * I think the above comment is most definitely talking about the old Rochester Subway tunnels. They are the closest thing Rochester has to "catacombs" - and if you've never been to the abandoned tunnels of Rochester's forgotten Subway, it is a magical place. A visitor there on a lonely day can imagine themselves somewhere between and Indiana Jones movie set and a forsaken futuristic Urban dystopia. ["kevenAtoms"]

They used to give tours of the building to classrooms. They were bought by Con Agra, and relocated to California. They still make the syrup for A&W root beer. If you google J. Hungerford Smith, you can see some vintage advertising images. The Hungerford building is now owned by Maguire Properties and has an assortment of businesses, including many artist studios. First Fridays are very lively at the building, with many open studios. +

There is a room you can walk into further back from those stairs, and from there a larger room, and then this tunnel. It leads into a pretty sketchy area and it is obvious that the homeless extensively use this part of the tunnel, so tread carefully. I have some pictures: http://flickr.com/photos/penguinchris/1438897916/in/set-72157602149376596/ shows the entrance to the tunnel. I too though am curious about the photos near the end of that gallery, showing water pouring out - not sure where that is or how to get there.
