Memories... of the way we were
Lee P. Brown may be gone as mayor, but his legacy lives on:
A sink hole has opened up in the Highland Village area.
The gaping hole appeared on Westheimer at Mid Lane Thursday afternoon. Motorists first noticed the hole around 2pm.
City workers believe the six foot wide and four foot deep hole was caused by a water main break. Water can be seen rushing into the hole.
One right westbound lane of Westheimer is closed to traffic. No injuries have been reported. There's no word yet how long repairs could take.
Six years of neglect of the city's infrastructure suggests we'll see more stories like this, not fewer. Mayor White does seem to have a better handle on things, though.
I'm heading over to the Vintage Wine bar near Westheimer and Mid Lane later, so maybe I'll come back with some firsthand shots of the sinkhole to replace the ABC-13 graphic.
