February 17, 2011 (CHICAGO) --
A large sinkhole created a roadblock on the city's South Side Thursday.A resident near 73rd and Union said her son noticed the ground was a bit soft about two days ago. On Thursday they found a gaping hole.
The sinkhole swallowed a lawn chair left on the street to save a parking spot and sent water spewing from a pipe.
Police blocked off the street.
