The Sugar House hole lay dormant beneath a retail district for decades before its discovery made it necessary to raze a slew of locally owned businesses. Since then, the hole has proved so popular that other holes have begun cropping up all over town.
nThe latest discovery is a magnificent hole at 400 South & West Temple, which federal officials think may rival the Sugar House hole in depth and grandeur. Unfortunately, it currently lies beneath Port O’ Call. Never mind: The government can simply condemn the building and then purchase it from its owners for pennies on the dollar.
nReally, it’s the price of progress. Why have a bunch of useless, old, thriving businesses lying around when we could have a lot more holes?
