No, none of these are relevant. i grew up in Quincy and the "caves' are old limestone quarries. They have a network of roads like an underground city and are in fact used for storage by many regional food and bevarage companies because of the climate as well as long erm document storage because of the safety factor.

Databases In Caves? A Unique Google Fiber Bid 124

An anonymous reader writes "Plenty of cities have submitted bids for the Google Fiber project, with most of their bids being centered around the attributes that could describe many communities. Yet one small midwestern town, with much less fanfare than the metropolitan bids, provided an unusual proposition for Google in their likely quixotic nomination. Quincy, IL, has an extensive series of underground caverns that could provide year-round temperature control, dedicated hydroelectric power, and security in the case of a terrorist attack."
