Off Bayshore a ramp leads up to a bricked tunnel entrance titled “Morris Olson Tunnel” and dated 1949. Long since replaced by a pedestrian overpass and pointless to sweep, the dead entrance attracts piles of garbage.
So who was Morris Olson, and what did he do to deserve a tunnel? If Google reflects the world’s collective memory, Morris is lost to oblivion. Only photos of the bricks and passing blog comments mention the tunnel, and nothing mentions the man. Even the camera van had a bad day when it passed the tunnel.
