Blacksburg Underground:

Virginia Tech is located in the small town of Blacksburg, Va.  The town used to have a small stream that ran through it, but when the downtown was built up, it was routed underneath the streets.  The Conglomerate noticed that you can see this stream by looking through the wood steps across the street from Bollo's Coffeeshop (next to the Art Armory).  The entrance is located a few blocks away by the fire station.   You can tell exactly where the stream runs because there is a brick path that was laid above it.  The tunnel hits in a large room that we believe is underneath the Red Cross building behind Mish Mish art supplies.
