Canoe the Krog · Krog Street Tunnel, Atlanta
In September 2009, record rainfall flooded metro Atlanta for days, and the Krog Street Tunnel, a graffiti-covered 1913 railroad underpass connecting Cabbagetown, Reynoldstown, and Inman Park, filled with over two feet of water. A Cabbagetown couple hauled out a canoe they happened to have and paddled straight through it. A neighbor caught the moment on camera, and the photo ended up in National Geographic.
The drainage issues that caused it have since been fixed, so it's history now, not a recurring thing. Worth reading the full story before you sketch anything - it's a great one.
