Neighborhood fixes gigantic pothole by placing Christmas tree in the hole


There was such a massive pothole, has been getting bigger for weeks, that neighbors in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania complained about it

The hole was not getting fixed, despite the complaints, so Marietta Spak decided to fill it with an artificial Christmas tree over the weekend.

“I was upstairs in the attic and was looking for more Christmas decorations and I came upon the tree and I thought, ‘That’d look nice in the hole,’” Spak said.

She put the tree in her car and placed it in the hole as a way to keep drivers from hitting it.

The Wilkes-Barre Department of Public Works said it was aware of the sinkhole and, now, the holiday decorations.

“We have a lot of comedians in the area that like to put trees in there.” David Iskra said.

A company the city contracts to do its paving is expected to get the job done within a day or so. Crews said the company was just backed up.
