Here in Spokane, during the winter months there is a number you can text in the location of any potholes in the city and they (supposedly) will then fill them in. Some of the roads out here look like patch-work quilts! The city doesn't have the funds to just repave the bad roads, so sometimes it's a really bumpy ride!!!

Massachusetts by far is the pothole capital .... the Big Dig years ago sucked all money out of the state coffers .... there is no money to fix potholes anywhere !! and what's worse.... overpasses and bridges are so horribly old and rusted .... I cringe every single time I go over or under one when I'm home .... especially since they were designed to handle traffic patterns from 50 years ago .... I fear many of these bridges will all fail at once ... it won't be good ...

You should have seen the potholes here before they started fixing them, because it's an election year and John Kasich thinks he's going to win a second term as governor.
My friend came here to visit and after a while of driving me around, he suddenly said "What's with all the potholes in this city? I saw smaller craters in Da Nang, Vietnam the day after an air raid."
I couldn't answer though, especially not at first because I was ROFLMAO at what he'd said.
