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
