The water main break has caused the Montrose state to smell like a backed up toilet...much like every other station in the city.

It makes the streets and sidewalks look like a flaky crust on a bubble of air underneath. I never realized how thin our surfaces are!

I guess the Tails staff won't be getting huge burritos for lunch today.

Cool. I used the Montrose station twice on Saturday, which explains the feeling I had that the cold clammy hand of death was tapping me on the shoulder each time I crossed in front of El Torito....

So *that* would be why there were 3 helicopters hovering overhead while I waited for the Metra today...

Great shot - it really is surreal looking!

This video is crazy. The dude drops a couple of F-bombs, so turn it down if you're at work.

Crazy stuff.

After El Torito settles with the city and reopens, they should market something like 'The Sinkhole Burrito'!

That is a big hole!

TheeErin says:

The Montrose Hole has a MySpace page and Ken Barnard, of the "Pro Hole Action Committee," misses the hole so much he's staging a protest to have it re-dug.

Join the Pro-Hole rally at the site of the Montrose Hole outside of the Brown Line station on Tuesday January 29, 2008 at 4:45.
