Where Did All the Potholes Go? Quincy’s Streets Might Just Be… Healing?!

Well, well, well… either Mayor Moore’s “All Potholes in 100 Days” campaign is working, or Quincy’s potholes decided to take a summer vacation. Because this month? We didn’t get a single entry. Not. One.

We’re not mad—we’re impressed. Fewer potholes means fewer spilled coffees and less creative cursing on morning commutes. But don’t get too comfortable. We know those asphalt gremlins are just waiting for the next rainstorm.

In the meantime, here are three fresh and fun pothole facts you probably didn’t know:

• 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.

Want $200? Here’s How to Get It.

We’re still giving away a $200 alignment from Delta Tire and Custom Wheels and winning it is laughably easy.

Just snap a pic of a pothole in Quincy or the surrounding area. Submit it to us and then get your friends to like it.

The pothole pic with the most “likes” wins. That’s it. No essay, no talent show. Just a pothole and a click.

We’ll be posting four official pothole articles on our Facebook page throughout the month—so keep your eyes peeled and fingers ready to vote.

The roads might be smoother lately, but that $200 prize is still up for grabs. So if you spy a rogue road crater, you know what to do.  Happy hunting for July’s Pothole of the Month.
