A Curious Sight

The origin of this big hole in front of 606 Crescent Avenue became evident with a look around.

Somebody had pulled a parking meter, complete with concrete base, out of the ground and dragged it across the sidewalk. There were no signs of a car hitting it.

Here it is, lodged in the shrubbery. Several beer cans were tossed nearby, making one wonder whether its dislocation was some kind of drunken prank.

Walking to Monday's City Council meeting in the dark, I nearly stepped in the hole. It could become a "trip and fall" case for the city if someone actually does step in it. Maybe either the parking meter could be put back or the hole could be filled in. If you are over that way on foot, be careful!
