It was great when the paint was so thick you had to squeeze between the wall and the rail sideways.

1/17/2006 9:06:37 PM

where did it go?

is it still closed or something

1/17/2006 10:20:32 PM

I mean I miss walking through it many times a day......

1/17/2006 10:27:51 PM

eye sea

yeah, not many places on campus make you feel like you are somewhere better

that was one though

1/17/2006 11:10:45 PM

I miss the smell of paint fumes in the morning!

1/18/2006 1:34:39 AM

anybody ever paint something?

1/18/2006 8:36:38 PM

I painted the exhaust up the steps to look like a mushroom. I've also puked in the tunnel on the way back from class.


Whats the deal, are they not allowing any more paint now?

1/19/2006 7:44:30 AM

its closed so they can redo the stairs into stairs and wheelchair ramps, it should be back this semester.

1/19/2006 7:53:28 AM

Should open in March I believe....

1/19/2006 1:47:37 PM

I was reading a book called "Ole Raleigh Boys Reminisce" and some dude was talking about driving his Jeep down the stairs, through the tunnel, and back up sometime in the 40's or 50's. I guess the railings weren't installed back then.

1/19/2006 2:24:59 PM

how do you get across the railroad in that area with it closed? do you have to go all the way to Dan Allen Drive or that other tunnel?

1/19/2006 10:51:41 PM

they have been doing a lot to it

the have covered the opennings in brick and made them look SO MUCH better

I hope that when it re-opens it isn't a "free expression" tunnel anymore

it was SUCH an eyesore/sketchy place on campus

it made our campus look EVEN worse

1/19/2006 11:09:32 PM

^thats the kind of attitude that makes our campus actually look so sanitary and plain.

i never really used it anyhow

1/21/2006 11:16:12 AM

the free expression tunnel is one of the best "traditions" at State...

plz gtfo if you think people shouldn't be able to paint there anymore

1/21/2006 11:38:29 AM

well I wouldn't worry about it, because faculty would never knowingly ruin a tradition of ours

...

oh wait

i used it for hanging an oversized poster of my friend's ass on april fool's day

that was my free expression

1/24/2006 5:08:25 PM

Me and Snewf painted a Dylan Thomas poem all the way across it one night.... I hate that it's gone, it was really nice.

1/25/2006 1:09:11 AM

holy shit, they killed the Free Expression Tunnel too?

bunch of locker room faggots...i swear, leave it to NCSU to fuck something up.

1/25/2006 10:35:23 PM

I miss it too. we only had a bridge at UVa. The tunnel had soooo much more room to paint. Really nice that the paint could dry and the message stay up a few days rather than having to guard it to prevent other groups from painting over it (our bridge was waaay too small, but good).

the other tunnel gets to crowded- like a stampede at times.

1/25/2006 10:54:53 PM

i always wanted to get a watergun, fill it with paint thinner, and see how thick that paint really was

1/25/2006 11:14:49 PM

I miss not having to walk forever just so I can get from my PE class to Harrelson.

1/26/2006 12:25:49 PM

My first thought was "Where'd it go?"

I liked the creativity, but I was always a little skurred under it... but I was skurred under the Dan Allen overpass too.

1/26/2006 3:25:10 PM

Apparently it needs to be restated that the tunnel has not been destroyed, but is being rebuilt to accomodate handicapped students/visitors. There will be cosmetic improvements, but it will still be the Free Expression Tunnel. In its place, while they're working on it, is a plywood wall in between Alexander and Owen (or whatever) that people can paint on.

Don't get your panties in wads, people.
