Just wondering if anyone with Google Earth can see this in Chicago? I tried it on two computers. The coords are 41 deg 46'22.58"N x 87 deg 33'49.20"W, or you can use the attached KMZ file (which DSLR seems to convert to a zip.) Online Google Maps is OK.

Unless they fixed it already, I have no "black hole" at those coordinates. I see the Lake Michigan lakefront on the South Side

It's a union black hole. It only shows up for double-time pay

I think I narrowed it down a bit. Running Windows version of Google Earth version 7.1.2.2041, DirectX mode. If I turn OFF 'Use 3D Imagery (disable to use legacy 3D buildings)', then there is no hole. Picture is what I see when I have the above option ON. I wonder if it has something to do with the building at the corner of S Shore Dr and 67th St. It disappears when in 3D imagery mode.

It's a real Black Hole...

Scientific evidence has proven that it appears over Soldier Field when Jay Cutler is the starting QB for Da Bears and they're playing the Fudge Packers for the Division title.

It can be easily detected by the giant SUCKING sound it causes.

The one on Google Maps shown here is a little bit south of Soldier Field, but I still find this post hilarious!

It's a spot just north of the South Shore Country Club and golf course, now a city park. No reason whatsoever why it should be blacked out.
