I just put in a request to do that. I’m not in the region, and consider Nyack to be the NYC region. (Is that close enough?)

I’m pretty sure Jewish tunnels are a big thing in the conspiracy theory world. There was the whole QAnon belief that there are massive tunnel complexes where children are sexually abused for ritual purposes (an idea that actually predates QAnon and goes back to at least the McMartin preschool trial). Any conspiracy theory tends to get attached to Jews at some point, but the bizarre dispute that led to an [illegal tunnel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City_synagogue_tunnel_incident) emanating from the Chabad-Lubavitch headquarters didn’t help.
