Earth Swallows Bus, Spruce Street Slowly Eroding

IMG00162-20101104-1108

It's finally happening: all of this lovely, atmospheric rain is starting to sweep the earth right out from underneath us. A tipster sent us this photo of a SEPTA bus that got beached in a pothole that opened up out of nowhere on Spruce street. Spruce was closed between 38th and 40th for a bit this morning, and we're guessing this had something to do with it. No word on whether or not the situation has been rectified, but take this as a warning: step carefully or you might fall into a crevasse.
