    Your tax dollars at work..

    At the end of July they oiled and chipped a long road near me. Now they scrapped it all up and re-paved the road. WTF. They might as well send these guys out to dig holes and fill them back up.

Apparently, this was NOT an acceptable answer.

    Ever notice how no other cities have pothole problems??? PA uses shitty mixes of asphalt that deteriorate quickly so that they gotta be replaced sooner. I mean, at least it keeps people in jobs, right?

    If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If it's marketed right, you'll buy it. But if it's real, you'll feel it. IG: @donuttrump

    Take a ride through Dearborn/Detroit - that place make our roads seem smooth.

    I love it when a water main breaks or a sewer is dug up and they quick patch it and never do a permanent resurface, that is awesome.

    Detroit makes EVERY city look good.

    My street is covered in patched holes. The neighbor had to spray paint 'FIX ME PLEASE" in orange marking paint in order for them to come fix the pot holes this summer. What a joke.
