The Teachings of Montrose Sinkhole

"...Chicago, Illinois. Our story begins on January 22, 2008. Early that morning a 70 foot section of Montrose Avenue collapsed to reveal the underworkings of modern society. No one was hurt, thankfully---as people like to say, things could have been a lot worse. The hole became known as Montrose Sinkhole." —MontroseSinkhole.com

A dedication to the glorious Montrose Sinkhole. Packed through and through with videos, pictures, maps, and all the information you could possibly want about the infamous street collapse. If you have more pictures or videos you would like to submit, please email contact@MontroseSinkhole.com
