The National Corvette Museum Could Keep Their Sinkhole

There is a good ending to even the worst stories. If the catastrophe that fell on the Bowling Green Corvette Museum seemed like it was the worst thing that could happen, they might yet bounce back from it.

A couple of months ago, a sinkhole opened in the National Corvette Museum, swallowing eight priceless Corvettes. Workers had to carefully work for weeks to extract the cars, and some of them may never be repaired.

Even if this incident cost the museum some unique cars, they may actually come out on top in the end. The number of visitor jumped up 50% from last year, since everyone wants to see the Corvette-eating sinkhole! In a few days, the Museum thinks they will see the 3,000,000th visitor walk through their doors!

Understandably, the museum committee doesn't know what to do with this hole. Filling and repairing it would erase an important part of the museum, as well as dry up a lucrative attraction.

A few other ideas have surfaced so far. Some people want them to make sure the hole is safe, and then leave it as-is. Others want to put the destroyed 'Vettes back inside, add some lights and seal everything under glass. Guests could then walk over the scene.

Whatever the decision, it will be known on June 25, when the museum committee will make a press statement.
