Sierra Madre hole project raises funds
Over the last few months you might remember hearing Off-Ramp's coverage of the Sterling Oaks project in Sierra Madre. It's a giant hole that Jeff Hildreth dug underneath his home using nothing more than a shovel and a bucket. You might have also heard about the hole on the evening TV news, the LA Times, or any number of other outlets who picked up on the story after Off-Ramp broke it. To help fund his lengthy battle with the city in court, Jeff and his wife are putting on a silent art auction and party on Saturday, April 30. Kevin Ferguson talked with Jeff for an update.
