There are a lot of basements in the older parts of Tallahassee... on the hills.
Tallahassee ain't like South Florida. When I was in grade school I used to dig holes in the schoolyard down to the water table, and that was when my arm probably wasn't much over two feet long. Why did I do that? There wasn't much else interesting at school. I wasn't digging for water, though. After I dug a hole or two I found out that I could dig to China. Not the country. There was a lot of old broken bits of Chinaware buried under the playground and I dug them up. I have no recollection of what I did with them afterwards. So far as I know I don't have any of them now... but my mother threw away a lot of the stuff I "collected".
