I was just reading some of the old posts on this forum and this one caught my attention.  I found the entrance to a tunnel at the northwest corner of Hogan and Forsyth (doorway to an elevator on Hogan side) where there parking garage was by accident one day and came up a stairway inside 121 West Forsyth.  There's quite a bit down there.  I'm sure these at one time connected to the Florida National Bank building (now Ed Ball).  If you ever manage to see the basement level of this building (by getting past security  Wink ), they have all the old bank teller stations and a giant safe down there.  There are several sealed/locked doorways near the outside of the floorplan that would have to lead across the street.  Makes me wonder what's still down there...

It'll be great if they would put more shops and boutiques in that area!
