Holes on the Sidewalk - Don't Fall In

My brother asked for a photo of an actual hole in the sidewalk.  Here it is.  I took this in El Dorado.  The hole was at least 6 feet deep and there was another just like it no more than 5 feet away.  This might be one of the reasons you don't see people just casually walking or biking down the street.  Just the other day, an  acquaintance of mine said a woman fell it one just outside his building!
