Anyone ever known about this? I know about the underground Cameron Village it cross references, but never heard of this.

Goes up there with Big Hole out in Chatham Co.

"Tom Belton 07/13/2013 When I was at NCSU in the early 1970s I was looking up a Federal agencey in the phone book and just happen to see a phone number for the CIA listed at an Oberlin Road address (I rode by later to see the building location and it was the one at 401 Oberlin). I called the phone numer and the man who answered simply repeated the phone number. True story. I swear. I always wondered why the CIA would have an office in Raleigh."

Cause we're the capital of North Carolina?

I miss that building. Oberlin had a nice little collection of midcentury modern buildings going on, now replaced by a canyon of bad condo buildings. The post office is the only one left, and I wonder how long it has.

What about the giant "hole" out in Chatham, owned by AT&T? Came across this indy week article from 2000 on it:

it was and is military apparently, anyone know the backstory?

Theres better and more recent news posted around. If I recall they "reopened" it (it really never closed) and possibly excavated deeper in 2010 or 2011 I recall seeing.

http://long-lines.net/places-routes/ this site has a bunch of old ATT news, with a ton of govt stuff declassified. You can see in VA where this site connects to.

Used to work at IBM in the park - there were always rumors of underground research facilities out there constructed for cold-war purposes.

I think it didn't for a while, then it did again.
