Early Monday morning (approximately 12 AM) there was an manhole explosion on Park Slope's Fifth Avenue near President Street. One tipster says it was between Joe's ShoeRepair and Moutarde on 5th ave, and an adjacent manhole on President. The explosion occurred at around 12 am and woke many residents up, who went running to the corner to see what was happening.
