This afternoon driving into Portland, I’m starting to get used to the huge deep potholes in most of the Maine highways. Potholes along the RailRoad Crossings are the winners so far - they are horrible.
Looking at the snow in the farm fields and in everyone’s yards I noticed the snow seems to be melting leaving behind strange arrangements of potholes? I have never noticed this before.

This happens to be a problem in Toronto, too; but local services came to recognise the fact, as there is not a hot line for all Torontonians, where one can call and inform them about a pothole that is spotted. The services then must go that place and fill up the pothole.
Local TV network decided to make a research about how effective this service really is. What they did is they chose 10 potholes around city, they photographed and filmed them. Then they called this city service anonymously. The city promised that any pothole will be filled within a week (I think) from the time of the call. So they checked a day before the deadline, and all 10 potholes were already filled quite firm.
They gave 10 out of 10 to the city
