Well, well, either Quincy’s potholes decided to take a summer vacation or Mayor Moore’s All Potholes in 100 Days program is effective. Since this month? Not a single entry was received. Not one.
We’re amazed, not angry. There will be less coffee spilled and less creative swearing during morning drives if there are fewer potholes. However, avoid being overly at ease. We are aware that those gremlins in the asphalt are only anticipating the next downpour.
Here are three interesting and novel pothole facts that you most likely were unaware of in the interim:
- NASA Has Studied Potholes Yep, lunar rovers needed to be able to handle moon potholes, so NASA studied Earth s craters and road gaps to prepare.
- Some Cities Throw Birthday Parties for Potholes In Chicago, people have literally put party hats and cakes on potholes to get the city s attention.
- The World s Largest Pothole is technically a sinkhole in Florida that swallowed an entire car dealership. Suddenly, that bump on Broadway doesn t seem so bad.
Do you want $200? This is how you obtain it.
We continue to give away a $200 alignment from Custom Wheels and Delta Tire, and it’s ridiculously simple to win.
Simply take a picture of a pothole in Quincy or the neighborhood. Get your friends to like it when you submit it to us.
The pothole photo that receives the most likes is the winner. That’s all. No talent show, no essay. Only a click and a pothole.
Throughout the month, we will be publishing four official pothole stories on our Facebook page, so keep a watch out and prepare to cast your ballot.
That $200 award is still up for grabs, even though the roads may be smoother these days. So you know what to do if you see a rogue road crater. Happy searching for the Pothole of the Month for July.
