My husband, who is with the Audio Visual Dept. at MTSU, taped a show at the
old City Cememtery in Nashville. He says there's an old rumor that there
is a tunnel that goes from the Old City Cemetery to downtown Nashville,
around the Capitol. It supposedly has been there since the Civil War. Of
course, this is just rumor. (./`do do do do-Twilight Zone intro./`) I'm
gonna try to get my hot lil hands on that video tape and check it out :)
