A Big Hole Downtown

Ixtayul has an insane set of construction pictures over at Metroplus today-- "Remove a few layers of black top, concrete and a little soil and you get some idea of what it takes to service the Wall street area with electricity, gas, water, sewer and communications." Jesus-- it looks like a game of pickup sticks.
