Real Trollspace
If there were ever a good use of the term "trollspace"
here it is:
Authorities in Chicago evicted a man Sunday who had reportedly been making his home for at least three years in a hut he built beneath the roadway on one of the city's drawbridges... the entrance to the hut was a 2-foot-by-10-inch hole in the bridge surface that Dorsay would squeeze into. After squeezing into the hole, Dorsay would drop down 5 feet and crawl on a beam for about 20 feet before reaching his makeshift hut. Dorsay allegedly obtained electricity by tapping into the wiring in the bridgetender's office. Dorsay's hut rose up and down when the bridge was raised and lowered -- something he compared to rising on a Ferris wheel.
