    That sucks.
    Years ago I was headed toward the Holland Tunnel when I drove over one of those big metal plates they put over the holes when they're working on the sewer. It pivoted up and ripped off my muffler, tailpipe and ripped a hole in my tire well. I walked over to the police precinct to file a report and the guy as much as laughed in my face...

    I saw one of those big metal electrical transformer boxes that are in the street, start smoking and then blow up jumping like 6 feet out of the street. I never step on manhole covers because I am convinced that that's how Im going to die, from an exploding manhole cover.

    This used to happen in Georgetown in DC on the regular like 3 years ago. One summer they had like at least 5 incidents, one where at least 4 manhole covers exploded up into the air on one block. It was after 9-11 so everyone thought it was terrorism until Pepco came clean that all their shit was just old and in need of serious overhaul. I think about this often as I work in downtown DC(it has also happened down here).

    Ave B, Kent Ave in Williamsburg, Columbia St is by far the worst. Neighborhood is definatley on the come up cause you couldnt drive through there with your windows down 10 years ago.
    Anyone call 311 (NYC help and info line) and report. I made a complaint about my super leaving trash in the basement and two inspectors came the following week. never had that issue. Ive used this about 5 times. For fire escape either, indoor garage issue, etc.

    My landlord is "Joey the cat" and would frown upon contacting the authorities over the garbage. Besides, then the rats in the air shaft would have nothing to eat.

    try riding your bike down Nostrand Ave in Brooklyn from Bed-Stuy to Crown Heights - my balls ache just thinking about it.

    OK now my shit is in the shop and I went back to the scene. I will post pics later, shit is grimy, there is an oil slick on the entire street, you can follow the oil drip all the way to my block where I parked. I found more pieces of the oil pan and $10 in the gutter. Aparently the city reimburses you for damage caused by potholes, etc. and I have been instructed to call 311. We'll see what happens.

    whenever that kind of shit happens to me, I think of the records I cant buy because of it.





    I feel your pain.

    College Point Blvd. in Queens is pretty bad too.
    besides from the giant potholes and giant
    bumps (speed bumps maybe?)there are no markings
    on the road. Its a free for all, cars just drive
    all over the road. Its very dangerous becuase there
    is no line to seperate on coming traffic.

    gabriel roth of daptone records (and antibalas phame) nearly lost his VISION due to potholes in williamsburg. he had hit some jacked spot of the road and his airbag went off, clocking him in his open eye. the sharon jones show had to cancel part of their tour, and gabe has to wear protective SHADES at all times as a result.


    if you see them at a nightclub and dude is wearing sunglasses, trust me it isn't because he is a cory hart fan.

    Take this and multiply it out to be an entire city. That city would be Cleveland. Is it two lanes? Four lanes? Who knows?

    i drive around nyc ALOT but i drive around philly alot more and i can tell you that philly without a doubt has nyc beat. we are the undisputed king of potholes. even worse than the ptoholes is when they "fix" or re-pave the streets. they remove the bad surface and leave it unpaved with the manholes pertruding from the ground for weeks, sometimes months. shit is horrible.

    Yo Coughin' nah man it was near my crib in square and safe Brooklyn

    3rd St is a wrap though, they probably won't repave until spring, that's how they do out here. Unions thug out the contracts and the people suffer
