Leaving downtown, the forward gears in his car's transmission stopped working, but reverse gear still worked.

<DIV><BR></DIV>As long as you're speaking of the Liberty Tunnels, here are two comparison<BR>photos. One is the South Portal in 1932 and the other is an artist<BR>rendering of how tthe South Portal will look in 2014 when the current<BR>renovation of the tunnels is complete. As for the sidewalk through the<BR>tunnel, it was removed in the last reconstruction in the 1970s.<BR>
