The state that the construction cone is considered to be the state flower and blooms all year round.

Great! I don't miss the horrible roads of Illinois!

[Peruzzot]

That's hilarious!😂🤣😂🤣😂 I also completely understand. Pothole broke my passenger side tie rod once and another broke my left ankle while I was running. Put my foot in it wrong.

[dailygrump40 in reply to Peruzzot]

Woops. I bet explaining that one at the ER was interesting or embarrassing.

[Peruzzot in reply to dailygrump40]

Interesting. I don't get embarrassed by falls...I get ticked off.

🤣

The turnpike is nice.

That's all I've got.🤣

Yes, PA and pot holes are synonymous. I really don't understand why the road surface is laid down in three strips. One in the center and then two on the sides. Inevitably the join between the strips acts as to retain water and with freezing and thawing it crumbles. I think if cars were built a little higher we might see the holes but as it is we just see something like a shadow until it is too late to avoid it. We just replaced two ball joints and tie rods, one in the Honda (can't see the holes) and one in the Toyota truck (usually can see the holes).

This is the same State that taxes outlying districts (of major cities) at the rate cities are taxed or close to it. Our town is approximately 90 miles from Pittsburgh and we, the people pay Pittsburgh taxes however we have no buses, no taxis, no Uber or other ways to get around, no wild alternate methods like individual jet packs of getting not even bicycles (bikes are dangerous as the roads are very narrow generally speaking), no side walks, no decent sized stores, no medical clinics or hospitals within 40 minutes to an hour depending on what road repairs are occurring.

I get so disgusted. I should have left years ago.

Must be related to Indiana. We have two seasons here. Winter and construction.

You haven't seen a pothole until you drive in MA! MA spends an average of $675,000 a mile to maintain our roads because our roads are paved in GOLD, and yes, the potholes go to China!!!
