Portland's SHANGHAI TUNNELS
CITIES OF THE UNDERWORLD: Episode 13, UNDERGROUND BOOTLEGGERS.
100 years ago Portland, Oregon was America's Sodom, a city full of vice, considered the most dangerous port in the world. It was a place where you could get drugs or booze or wake up trapped in a cell beneath the earth. Expanses of underground tunnels enabled slave traders, opium runners and speakeasies to flourish. Join host Don Wildman as he ventures beneath modern Portland into the nefarious world of fight clubs, slave tunnels and gambling dens.
