Of all the holes to fill.
In a city rife with cracked sidewalks and potholes, Big Apple officials have opted to finally jump into action on the one hole New Yorkers had come to know and love.
A popular Bedford-Stuyvesant street aquarium that was installed to much acclaim in a broken sidewalk flag near a leaking fire hydrant has been filled in with concrete, footage posted on Instagram shows.
“Welp, that didn’t last long,” read text over a video of the freshly renovated section of sidewalk on Hancock Street. “Some people are going to be upset when they wake up this morning,” the post added.
The final blow to the popular attraction came after the small fish pond was destroyed during an FDNY hydrant inspection earlier this week, leaving dozens of tiny goldfish dead.

Caution tape and orange cones had also been erected around the still-wet cement where the fish once swam.
