Anton Chekhov wrote, “Any idiot can face a crisis – it’s day to day living that wears you out.” Two year ago, after moving to a new neighborhood, there was a huge pothole I couldn’t avoid. It was shredding my tires and driving me crazy. I called the city relentlessly and eventually got it fixed. I loved reading about Jim Bachor, an artist in Chicago who decided to take matters into his own hands, literally, and started filling in the potholes with his original tile mosaics.

Hmmm–I must have better services in my economically depressed backwater, because I logged in an online pothole report and it was fixed within a week! Of course, not as delightfully as Jim Bachor’s. Thanks for sharing this, Wendy–brought a big smile to my face!
Los Angeles has the worst streets. It’s really hard to get potholes fixed here because there are so many of them.
