Digging up the past

The Spirit of the Golden Valley, local news station KGET ran a story yesterday about some interesting things construction crews have uncovered recently. Crews working to repair and replace old pipes are digging up the area near 20th and L streets. It's the same area the old Chinatown was located. Yesterday they unearthed an old safe. Their excitement was quickly dashed when they ripped off the door and found nothing inside. Besides the safe they have discovered old bottles, inkwells, and opium pipes.

Makes me want to take a shovel to my back yard.
