It figures that in the midst of the longest government shutdown in American history, the earth would literally open up a block from the grounds of White House.
Yet another sinkhole — a depression in the ground caused by a collapse of land — has opened up in Washington D.C., this time just a block from the presidential residence.
Opening up on Tuesday afternoon, the “large” sinkhole was reported by D.C. Police as being the reason for road closures on 17th Street NW between C Street and E Street NW.
