For the record, the original title was:
"The tunnels that did not revolutionize delivery in Chicago."
The point was to tell a lesson for current startups: it is about tunnels, the tunnels were supposed to revolutionize delivery, and they did not do so. It's a story about a bold vision to change the world--very relevant to a lot of startups that think they will change the world but might end up being abandoned in a few years.

- dotBen 17y agoLove the fact that I got de-karma'd for this for some reason. It's totally true, the London Post Office Railway was modeled after Chicago and it was useful.
