I have been reading all the stories about Underground tunnels here in Hemet.
I know first hand that there are tunnels under Florida Ave. There are tunnels crisscrossing Harvard,
and a couple of other side streets. I know this because I have been living in one of them for the last two years. When the economy took a dump, I lost my job, then my house and eventually my car quit running. No one knows the location of my tunnel home and hopes it stays that way.
I have access to electricity, but have to bring in water. The temperature here is cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
I have a portion of the tunnel sealed off, the flooring is from used carpet, I sleep in a queen size bed and have free internet access through WiFi and the local Library’s internet.
I feel completely safe here. There’s only one way in and one way out. I can lock the entrance to the tunnel.
It would be very difficult for anyone to find the entrance to my hide-a-way.
I believe that there are other’s who are living in these tunnels.
I'm only revealing my secret because I feel that it's important that the truth about the tunnels should be told without disclosing my location.

I assumed that these tunnels were narrow. But if you were able to get a queen size bed, they must be pretty wide.

So I was reading the thread on the coin shop and saw the post regarding a tunnel that supposedly runs under Florida ave,. There IS or was such a tunnel back in the day, there IS a sealed off "doorway" of sorts in the basement of the old Bank of Hemet bldg.( the two story blue bldg @ Florida & Harvard, today it is The Old Photo Company and the Grandfather Clock shop )it runs under Harvard down to what was Gibell's hardware store ( today it is Sharkey's Pizza ) and then goes under Florida ave to what was the old Hotel Hemet ) I got the info/story from an old timer who's father was the mgr. of the Hotel back in the day. He told me about the day the bank got held up ( maybe 1914 - 1915 ) and a possee of young bucks chased the robbers out State st to Gibell road till the road ended, they all were driving model T's. He said they were gonna go back to the stable in town, get some horses and track the robber's down. One of the guy's decided to give chase on foot, everybody told him to just wait till the mounted possee got back but he decided to go ahead alone, he got shot & wounded, hauled him back to town to get him patched up and the mounted possee eventualy captured the bad guy's. I don't know about gold or drug smugglers ? or any floods etc., BUT, I got this tale from an eyewitness so, I gotta go with it. I also heard this same story from old Charlie Van Fleet, the most informed "un-official "historian" of Hemet back in about 1980 or so. AND, BTW,....... I would NOT believe ANYTHING that city hall puts out in regards to the history of Hemet, they don't even know where the majority of the old photo's they have on the city website originated from.

Reply...You are right...Strawberry bike shop has a door in the basement that leads to tunnel...

Here is another bit of Hemet History. The building on the North West corner of Florida and State has a basement. I know that a couple of the employees who work there are not aware of its existence. But the real excitement is that there is a tunnel leading from that basement to somewhere on Harvard Street. Who knows where and how many exits there are in that tunnel?
I would be interested in hearing more about this from anyone who knows the truth.
I hope that only sincere and knowledgeable people share their information with us because there are so many secrets of Hemet. It would be a real treat for us all who live here in Hemet to learn more about the hidden history of our great city.

yES, tHAT USED TO BE GIBBEL HARDWARE AND THEY STORED DYNAMITE IN THAT ROOM..

I have lived here 10 years in Hemet. I knew there were tunnels under Florida Ave.When B.A.R.T. was being built in the 60's & 1970's in San Francisco you could tell the ground was hollow as you drove down Market ST in SF. You can hear it especially around the Hemet Bank and past B of A between Girard and Yale here in Hemet

Theres been a long running rumor that Walt Disney use to Hang out in the San Jacinto Valley out by the Cow Dairys and work on his cartoons long before he started Disneyland. My uncle told me that and I just always thought it was BS.

Theres a lot of manure at the Cow Dairys and your story smells like it belongs there too. Besides, what does that have to do with The Under Ground Tunnels in Hemet?
