...Well, the place would sure be very strange. The main purpose of this place would be being underground, for goodness sakes! It's a whole different world down there, below the surface. The sun never breaks through, the world only lit by the candlelights on the miner's helmets.
Read City of Ember to get a bit of idea of what that would be like. Electricity (in the old days, candles) is the one thing that keeps everyone and everything going! Half a life, always enveloped in darkness, the only bright things being the light bulbs way up there, dumbed down, thinking that Ember is the only living place... ...Jeez, I love that book! Just so... spine tingling. Should probably get around to reading the rest of People of Sparks, too. And Prophet of Yonwood, and Diamond of Darkhold.
Gotta love the Ember saga, and all of the underground-ish stuff.

"City of Ember." I am adding it to my list of things that I simply must read.
How is "Feed"?? Have you started? Thoughts? Comments? I am curious!
You're right, it is a whole different world underground. And just think, the miners had to go down there five days a week and were only paid by how much rock they hauled out. It was a tough job.
