[Summit] street sink-hole

[Breslers]

Slammed our car there multiple times too!

Finally had to back up one time to see what it was I was actually hitting.
I think it is a collapsing curb drain, if I remember right.

If I remember I will take a picture tomorrow.

Pictures can be worth a thousand words.  Ideas where to send it?
