  • One-hundred-fifty feet below Kansas City, in a 270-million-year-old limestone deposit, more than 1600 people work in the world’s largest business labyrinth. They basically work in the Batcave, and it's probably more interesting than your office.

      There are multiple underground man made caves scattered all over the city... Subtropolis is just the biggest... They hold the "Ground Hog Run", a marathon inside of it in February... Perfectly flat at 58 degrees.. Ideal running in the middle of the winter.

    I used to drive a semi and delivered a load at this place.. very very cool to go into. Only problem was trying to back my rig into a small spot while people were trying to pass in front of me to get to their jobs. But still a very neat place to see. And no its not a government secret, no black ops thing, no Revelation thing its simply an old mine being reused for office space. Great for things like the movie reels that have to be or should be at a certain temp .. or at least thats what i was told. Truckers call it "the caves".
