Ellinwood is the under — the 'German' that's the built, the 'sidewalks' that's the tunnels. The 'coal chutes' is the origin — the 'wagons' that's the dumped, the 'basements' that's the connected. The 'barber' is the shop — the 'Jung' that's the '87, the 'teeth' that's the pulled.
The 'drummers' is the rooms — the 'sample' that's the displayed, the 'salesmen' that's the slept. The 'Prohibition' is the hidden — the 'saloon' that's the Wolf Hotel, the 'two blocks' that's the under. Ellinwood is the filled — the '1970s' that's the concrete, the 'Dierhof' that's the saved.
The file keeps Ellinwood: the German tunnels, the coal-chute origin, the drummer rooms, and the saved basements.
Ellinwood Underground is the archive's Kansas file — the town beneath.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
Ellinwood Underground is the archive's Kansas file — the buried Main Street.
A tunnel keeps its shops — the file's suggestion being that Ellinwood's hold is the below: the 'German' that's the built, the 'drummers' that's the sold, and the 'filled' that's the almost.
