A building in danger of collapse has cost a family the business they built over nearly 50 years.
Emergency crews spent most of Friday at the scene of the sinkhole that opened under a Crooksville business.
Crooksville is about an hour southeast of Columbus, in Perry County.
And for the owners of that family business, the loss is especially tough.
An emotional Roger and Dorothy Sprankle stood across the street from the business they built over the course of 47 years.
"First pizza in town," Roger said. "Still the best."
Friday his pride in his business is tinged with pain.
"Been a family thing for a long time. It's sad," he said, choking up. "It hurts."
What his family built, is about to be no more.
"You could feel it shaking. You could physically feel it, you could hear it. And it was just an all the sudden thing," said Rick Bobb.
He rents an apartment in Sprankle's building and was the only one there Friday when it happened.
"I heard a great big rumble and the building started shaking. I didn't know what it was. We went out to see, and I seen the building beside me, the porch had fallen in, and then I looked on in, and the floor had fallen in."
The interior floor of the building collapsed into a sinkhole below.
Engineers said the entire building is at risk of caving in.
"They've condemned the building," said Sprankle. "Won't let me back in."
The Sprankles say the Blackfork Creek on one side, the railroad line on the other, have eroded and shaken the land under them.
"The whole building shakes," he said. "And it has since they've been here. I imagine that's had a lot to do with it. Plus the water and erosion underneath."
What's next for his family, he doesn't know.
"A lot of...a lot of memories," he said, his voice breaking. "We'll be back. We're not leaving."
Crooksville Mayor Fred Redfern says engineers tell him for the safety of everyone, the building had to come down Friday night.
The Sprankles say they don't have the insurance to cover the loss, or the cost of demolition.
Redfern says until the building comes down, he's not able to open Main Street or the railroad line.
He planned to call an emergency meeting of the Village Council to try to decide how to pay for the demolition.
