  1. Tom says:

    I’m pretty sure this is right down the street from my house. Was this photo taken in Bushwick / Williamsburg Brooklyn?

  2. Up…..s!
    In the middle of the street. How danger it is!
    Local gov. should doing an action!

  3. Dave says:

    It must be the normal way to mark a pothole.. I was gonna ask if it was in Ft. Greene.

  4. Kiki says:

    Suddenly sinkholes!

  5. Robert says:

    Holey city streets, Batman!

    Looks like one of the many I’ve seen in Manhattan…
    I sure love having my tax dollars paying for their coffee breaks and donuts…

  6. Ellie says:

    Hmmm – I’ve never seen the equivalent in Phoenix. As a transportation engineer in training…. this gives me chills! And as a member of the green generation, I can’t help but wonder if there’s more trash on the sidewalk now that the trash can has been moved :-)

  7. QuickFix says:

    Who knows, this could be a new kind of homeless shelter. For one, of course.

  8. hooptycritter says:

    This is a fix in NYC.
    What? You would rather see a car drive into our 19th cent. infrastructure?

  9. USdf says:

    Poor poor Dalek.

  10. gg555 says:

    I think that may actually be the corner of Mulberry and Prince, in Nolita. That looks like the brick wall that surrounds St. Patricks Cathedral.

  11. gg555 says:

    Yeah, double checking on GoogleMaps street view, that is definitely the corner of Mulberry and Prince. You can see the pattern of whiter, newly replaced mortar a couple feet up on the brick wall, you can see how the metal on the curb and the cut-out for the wheelchair ramp matches, the details of the lampost match. Anyway, it’s mostly the brick wall that confirms it, like a fingerprint. I used to live a half block away, walked by there every day, and I was pretty sure I recognized it right away.

  12. go_Waitak says:

    …and the white van on Prince (streetview) is just about to run over where the hole’s at…

  13. Robert says:

    The more I see it, the more I imagine that the Travelocity Travel Gnome will pop out from the hole…

    “Don’t forget your hat!!!”

  14. 4merNYker says:

    Typical for NYC streets. I’ve seen that too many times. Are people in NY still getting electrocuted when they step on those metal construction plates?

  15. cowpants says:

    This is a pretty much everyday sight where I live (Guadalajara, Mexico). Although the cone is substantially more visible than most of the things that get used here — old mops, tree branches, broken furniture, tires…

  16. Complicated says:

    As silly as it may seen, this is definitely a community effort in places around the world. I’ve seen this even in Washington, DC. :P

  17. Steve says:

    L4D before the Survival pack.

  18. Christy says:

    Hahahaha, I really thought this Orchard & Delancey for a second.

  19. John says:

    A friend in NYC says he once had to drive around a full-sized refrigerator sticking out of a pothole. But it was just barely sticking out. That kind of pothole could swallow a smartcar!

  20. Jokamundo says:

    They do this everywhere in New York, better than running over those giant potholes.
    (No it isn’t a manhole).

  21. Clyde says:

    Maybe a black hole the way it’s obviously sucking everything in…

  22. gracieg says:

    I’ve seen these kind of set ups in Chicago many times.

  23. Crisco says:

    Another NYC pothole is born!

  24. reddog says:

    CAUTION MEN NOT AT WORK

  25. Jacob G says:

    Green One! :D
