Find a parking place, Arrow. The en\u00ac trance to the tunnels is at the next comer.\u201d * * * We parked in the heart of historic Moose Jaw. Many buildings were brick two-storeys with flat roofs. Win\u00ac dows and doorways were arched in red brick.<\/p>\n<p>A sign read OK FOODS OK. Across a dusty parking lot, a faded advertisement on an old building invited us to visit THE BLUE STORE MEN\u2019S WEAR. At the tunnel entrance, Candy said goodbye to us. \u201cI\u2019ve got errands to run before we leave Moose Jaw.\u201d She kissed Arrow\u2019s cheek. \u201cSee you later, handsome.\u201d As I exchanged a glance with Marie, Smollett gave Candy a sulky look.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat about our meal at Pizza Hut?\u201d \u201cI\u2019m not hungry.\u201d \u201cI confess I\u2019m disappointed, Candy.\u201d \u201cAnother time, okay?\u201d As Candy hurried away, we entered a building where a sign said TUNNELS OF LITTLE CHICAGO. While Smollett purchased tickets, Marie and I checked out the gift shop with Arrow. Other tourists joined us, and then we were escorted into the tunnels. The history was explained by a friendly guide as she took us along dusty, narrow passages where bare light- bulbs fought the gloom. The tunnels were narrow but high, so we didn\u2019t need to stoop.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe CPR brought workers from China to help construct the railway,\u201d she said, her words echoing between the stone walls. \u201cThe Chinese workers built these tunnels to hide from racist thugs in the streets. Most of Moose Jaw\u2019s Chinese restaurants were connected by the tunnels.\u201d We entered a large room with tables and chairs. \u201cLater on, others discovered the tunnels,\u201d the guide ex\u00ac plained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome people actually lived down here.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Books by Eric Wilson The Tom and Liz Austen Mysteries 1.
