Fun with Sinkholes: What do you wish a sinkhole would swallow?

A truly ginormous sinkhole swallowed up a good part of Daisetta today, making enough room for an Olympic natatorium ... with a basement.

One wag at The Enterprise joked that it's too bad sinkholes never open up beneath stuff that we wish would be swallowed up by the earth ... like giant, Dalmatian-colored fire hydrants.

If you had one giant sinkhole at your disposal and could unleash it anywhere in Southeast Texas, where would you wish it to open?

How about all the Democrats?

Is "blow" only a figure of speech?........ said...

Swallow! Did someone say "swallow?"

This must be a blonde female sinkhole.

A sinkhole by any other name is still --- said...

You are being redundant when you ask if anything in this area could be swallowed up in a skinkhole.

We were swallowed up decades ago.

This negativity about our area is saddening.

Even sadder is the fact that these things being said about our area are true. Look around you!!! What part of what you see has not already been sucked up into a long-term, oversized sinkhole for decades? It's just the truth.

I pray it swallows up Carl Griffins Estate on I-10, After all it was paid for with county tax dollars.

But what if I want to move the sinkhole...maybe to Southeast Louisiana, maybe near where the mouth of the Mississippi River empties into the Gulf of Mexico?

How 'bout the whole city of Port Arthur?

Move the sinkhole to Vidor, or Port Arthur. Now THAT would be urban renewal.

not just the administration of BISD, but the school board and all facilities.....and how about all the trial attorneys that have screwed up everything for everybody but themselves....closet socialists disguised as lazy liberals....welfare addicts....obama...

True that this whole region would not be missed if it fell into the ocean. I would be for the "Golden Triangle" getting one great big enema. I would not want anyone to die but it would have been much less of a loss if Katrina had hit here and maybe we could have just started over.

I think the sink hole should swallow all of Beaumont Texas and Port Arthur Texas and the crime rate will be ZERO!

I can see where if a fair and balanced sinkhole were to open up under the BISD super's house it would improve the neighborhood straight away. It would be like when those evil underworld soul takers from the movie GHOST took bad people straight into HELL. How fitting. All that taxpayer money and nowhere to spend it.

San Antonio! Oh wait, that's not Southeast Texas, is it?

How 'bout the entire Parkdale Mall area and adjacent strip centers the day after Thanksgiving...

People that wait in a line all night to get "special deals" from these retailers need to be sucked into the ground.
