. . . . . . . . in SubTropolis is not for me. hah


Below is the underground industrial park known as SubTroplis opened for business in 1964 in an excavated mine below Kansas City, Mo.

Tenants have lower energy costs and cheap rents. The walls, carved out of 270-million-year-old limestone deposits, help keep humidity low and temperatures at a constant 68 degrees, eliminating the need for air conditioning or heating.

Tenants reported 70 percent savings on their energy bills.

Rents run about $2.25 per square foot, about half the going rate on the surface.

A specialty foods packager employs about 200 workers in their naturally cool underground establishment.

LightEdge Solutions, a cloud computing company uses the mild climate to help cool servers.

And an underground archive that contains the original film reels to Gone with the Wind and Wizard of Oz.

The U.S. Postal Service keeps hundreds of millions of postage stamps in an underground distribution hub at SubTropolis.


It just seems too eerie for me to want to work in that environment.

So could you work underground in SubTropolis?

No, it would be too depressing for me. I mean it sounds and looks really cool, and I know there are people that can do it, I am just not one of them.

Yes I think it looks cool a s well.
I would like to "visit" there just to see it in person, but I could not stay in there all day to work.

I don't think I would have a problem working in there. The time to get in and out could be an issue, but I have never been bothered by tight spaces or any of that

Why not ramsey? Look at all the flat space you can zoom around on your leg scooter.

I've been to the salt mine in Hutchinson Kansas a number of times and it's creepy as hell but not exactly claustrophobic. In a weird way, because those mines stretch on for miles, it's like being lost in a maze. Everything looks the same. No natural landmarks. When the light fails or is turned off, there is no ambient light of any kind, it is pitch black. No cell reception at all, you are about a thousand feet below ground, probably have wi/fi and cable problems too. The temperature is constant and there is zero moisture because the salt sucks it all up, so your stuff lasts forever. No bugs, no growing things, no mold, no nature sounds, nothing. Just a very alien environment. Only one or two routes in or out, each involving major elevator equipment so if catastrophe struck you're screwed. The ride to the surface takes a few minutes. And is controlled by an operator either down below or on the surface.

No way in hell I'd work in a mine.
Thank god I am oblivious to the opinions of others while caught in the blinding splendor of my own cleverness.

I could do it for a while, but not indefinitely.
