About Edward Albee's Zoo Story How does the play suggest that animalistic violence lies under a thin coverage of civilization in modern society?

â??The Zoo Storyâ?? by Edward Albee is about a bizarre meeting. One day, Peter is accosted by a man who continues asking him personal questions. Eventually he answers, then finds when it is the other manâ??s turn to share, he relates something thatâ??s not the type of thing a stranger would relate. The encounter grows stranger by the minute and finally a knife is drawn and tragedy happens. The story shows that through our lives, no matter how civilized we are, the animal nature of man is always near.

Are there underground tunnels beneath Chicago?

Yes, there are. A lot of them too.

Chicago has had many public transportation and infrastructure challenges since it was founded, and has often sought underground tunnels as a means of solving these issues.

As a result, there is indeed a pretty vast underground network of tunnels in the city of Chicago.

Some of the projects that Chicago has well documented are:

Water Tunnels (1850s)

River Tunnels (1869 - 1892)

Freight Tunnels (1899 - 1959)

Subway Tunnels (1938 - present)


These are the projects that are well documented. There were countless other projects that probably were not very well documented, and they too often left their tunnels intact underneath the city.

The freight tunnels that were built over a 60 year period from 1899 to 1959 were eventually abandoned and for the most-part, are no longer in use today but they do still exist.

There have been many examinations into the life of Chicago's 'hidden city' or 'undercity' because it does indeed seem to be a place that other people have gone to, particularly those of impoverished status, to create their own communities within the already dense and elaborate Chicago city that exists above the Earth's surface.

The tunnels are expansive, and they were created for many different reasons. Some are less safe than others as time and erosion take their toll, but even today there are a lot of tunnels under the city of Chicago that no one, save a few that might be part of the communities that survive there, is aware of.

It's really a very interesting thing to study.

Yes, there really are a lot of tunnels underneath Chicago. A lot of them.

What is the value of a custom portrait of a family member made by the Chicago Portrait Co from a photo about 50 years ago?

It depends. Some portraits like that will have no value other than to family members. It is possible that someone would want to use the art to illustrate the past, however, and if you can get a good digital copy made, you might be able to put it on a stock photo site and sell it. If you want to sell the original, you could always look on eBay or another auction site for similar items and see what they are going for (the size and quality will of course matter).
