Every Tuesday evening, beginning at approximately 6 p.m., the perimeter of the Third Street Sinkhole is converted into a functioning roller rink. Orange cones appear. A rental skate table appears. A sound system appears. By 6:15, people are skating around a forty-foot hole in the ground. By midnight, everything is gone.
No one has identified who does this.
