The businesses are pretty much open and the sidewalks should be done by tomorrow, but they said it'll probably be a week for the street to be open. Either way, quick turnaround.

Either that or there's an contingency clause in the city's employment contract that allows them to hire people who are not members of the International Brotherhood of Shovel Leaners, Asscrack Scratchers and Nap Takers Local 372 in emergency situations.

Were where these people 25 years ago? The whole area around the hole was as close to a hole as you can get without being a total hole.

You cant be serious. Can you?

Well, if youre serious, then that rally at 5pm was no doubt accompanied by artic cold and incredibly gusty winds. Had they stayed outside for too long in that weather, that big hole would have made the perfect mass gravesite.
