C'mon Sinkhole!
- A sinkhole swallowed part of a road in the West Pullman neighborhood on the Far South Side this morning, officials said.
City crews have closed off the area around the hole near 124th Street and Wentworth Avenue.
According to an e-mail from Shannon Breymaier of the Mayor's Press Office, the city Department of Water Management is still investigating, but based on what is known now, a leaking water line running from the water main to a home breached a sewer main and washed away the soil underlying the street. The street caved in, breaking an 8-inch water main, resulting in a hole that is about 30 feet deep and 14 feet wide.
We hoping another one opens up around Clark/Washington and Randolph/LaSalle and then a third at 35th and Michigan.

And a fourth at Hermitage/Berteau.
This whole city is a stink hole I mean sink hole.
It is a sign of coming destruction and devastation. The underpinnings of the city are being eroded. The rot will spread.
Just don't let it happen near my pretty loft.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
I would like to officially ask Santa for a sinkhole to swallow all of 011 for my Christmas present this year. I promise, I've been good all year. In fact, haven't done a darn thing!
Hmmmmm. And what of that deep tunnel project under the city? Could it collapse too?
I would like to see a sinkhole open up in Maggot Daley park. Then the taxpayers could fork out another 56 million bucks for some new dirt and sod. VOTE Democrat !
Don't worry the next sink hole will be in 012th Dist at Harrison and Racine! N/b lanes. The street keeps sinking and the brilliant city and who is the head of streets and San but some deputy flunky who is retired and collecting a pension and a salary from the city, just keeps putting asphalt on top of it.
I had some business to attend to at 35th street about 2 weeks ago. I parked on 36th street on the west side of Michigan. On the part of 36th st that curves south, there is a softball sized hole in the middle of the street. I happened to glance into it as I walked by and noticed that it is pretty much the entrance to an underground cave. There was NOTHING under the street. There was just empty space that went down several feet and expanded outwards pretty wide. I could see a layer of gravel at the bottom of it. It's a bit far from HQ, but if it gets ignored for long enough maybe it will suck the whole damn building in.
Notice how the city blames the homeowners water pipe not the citys......
Imagine if those giant worms from "Tremors" attacked City Hall?! Rahm N Noodle and City Council get eating during a meeting. "Tremors" was a bad 1980's movie with Kevin Bacon

Some say the end is near.
Some say we'll see Armageddon soon.
I certainly hope we will.
I sure could use a vacation from this
Bullshit three ring circus sideshow of freaks
Here in this hopeless fucking hole we call L.A.
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away.
Any fucking time. Any fucking day.
Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona Bay.
Fret for your figure and

Stinkhole
Did we already forget about a whole van being swallowed up in the police parking lot at 35th Street?
Another $10 mil TIF infrastructure project for Englewoods is looming. Got to court the electorate.
ha ha ha!! SCC humor good.
Two separate sinkholes on my block in three months. More on the next block later on. I asked the repair crew supervisor if he thought maybe some new sewers for this taxpayer area were in order. He said they have done about 50 in the area and have to do them after the damage is done, one by one. Nothing new and improved for the taxpayers on the NW side.
Ha Ha You made my day SCC.

"Tremors" was a bad movie!
A bit too far south, but it will do.
The one at 4200 N. Hermitage has white-hot fire shooting out of the ground with fork-tailed cloven hoofed, horn-headed fellahs with pitch forks dancing, prancing, turning pirouettes and stabbing the shit out of each other.
