The Alameda-Weehawken Burrito Tunnel
Thursday, April 12th, 2007This is one of the more informative pieces I’ve read about the construction and ongoing use of the Alameda-Weehawken Burrito Tunnel.
By the time the burritos reach Cedar Rapids (traveling well over a mile a second) they are heated through, and anyone who managed to penetrate into the tunnel through the Cleveland access shafts would find them ready to eat.

Wow:
“Weehawken residents still recall the great blackout of 2002, when computers running the braking coils shut down and for four hours burritos traced graceful arcs into the East River, glowing like faint red sparks in the night”
That image is incredibly beautiful to me.

That whole site is really quite remarkable. The writing is DUNN GOOD.

Damn Ohioans accessing those burritos.
I really don’t know what that means.
