She grew up in SW PA, King of Prussia is on the Philly side of the state
(I've been in the neighborhood a couple of times). She also hasn't lived
in PA for nearly 3 decades.
So I think she gets a pass for that. ;-)

It's real.
It's as round as it is, presumably, because the engineers who planned the
excavation that happened underneath it designed it that way.
And the odds are that the depth of the area that was excavated will
closely match the actual depth of the hole that's above it. Think
'pushing a corkscrew about 1/2" into a bottle of wine'.

I grew up near Philly. Other than Harrisburg, we tend to ignore the fact
that there are any other cities in PA. ;-)

My fault for not being specific enough. ;-)

Yeah, I know - she's from south of Pittsburgh (Greene county), and her
family who's still there would likely admit there was nothing east of
Pittsburgh. ;-)
