I never really thought about manholes. But did you know there’s an entire industry devoted to manholes and their upkeep — specifically keeping them level and watertight?

I discovered this 8 minute video of the folks at Mr. Manhole giving their pitch low energy pitch to Woodbury civic leaders:

“Woodbury is a very upscale community in the Minneapolis Saint Paul area. It is a beautiful city. It has many manholes in the roadways. We were invited there to demonstrate to the City of Woodbury how the Mr. Manhole System could be used to bring manhole frames and lids to the appropriate level.”

Lol.
