To schedule a presentation, contact Lucy De La Rosa. The Hidden In Plain Sight mobile exhibit and training is provided at no cost to schools and organizations in Dallas, Ellis and Navarro Counties. The purpose of the exhibit is to help parents and other adults see the environment with new eyes, to see the warning signs that may be obvious once they are pointed out, and then help them have a conversation with the teen to stop dangerous behaviors before the worst happens - addiction, legal trouble, injury or even death. Some items are obvious, some are fiendishly clever some are well-hidden and some are sitting in plain sight. The Hidden In Plain Sight mobile trailer simulates a teenager's bedroom where we have placed items which may be indicators that the teen is using tobacco, alcohol or other drugs, or is engaging in behavior that could lead to substance use.

If you know of other spots in our state that seem to be “hidden in plain sight,” NBC Connecticut wants to hear from you. "If they think anything, they probably just figure it's a house," said Kagels. Not everyone passing by knows what is really inside until now. The town declined an NBC Connecticut request to view the interior of the structure. The property is secure, is outfitted with back-up generators and it can withstand extreme weather, according to the town. The town decided to purchase the property more than a decade ago to create a bunker-like facility for important town technology. "Well, I'm sure they intentionally made it look like a residence," said Marilyn Kagels who lives in the neighborhood. Despite a seemingly typical brick exterior, black shutters and white windowpanes, no one is living in the structure - because it is not a home. In West Hartford, what appears to be a house stands at the busy intersection of South Main Street and Park Road. Project Nike was named after Nike, the goddess of victory from Greek mythology. Army built hundreds of these line-of-sight anti-aircraft missile systems across the country in 1950s. In Cromwell, just off of Route 372 next to a condominium complex is what is left of a Cold War relic: a Nike Missile site. The subterranean waterway flows beneath the grounds of the State Capitol then Bushnell Park before it sees the light of day again, dumping into the Connecticut River. The Park River was buried back in the 1940s by the Army Corps of Engineers as a way to prevent spring-time flooding and divert polluted run-off. "I think it’s really cool that we have an underground river." "I think most people probably don't realize that it's underneath us," said Shanna Gottfried, a Hartford resident. The waterway flows underground, under the Capital City for more than two miles. If you have not heard of the Park River, maybe it is because you cannot always see it. Tucked between Hartford’s Pope Park and busy Interstate 84 is one of the few spots where you can spot some hidden history.
