Just had to drop $200 on a new tire after hitting the biggest fucking pothole ever on Dubuque St. the other night.
Not a big deal other than I had just bought the tires a little over a year ago for my wife's car.
And no assholes I know how to drive it was dark and the pothole of course was filled with water so you couldn't tell it was fucking 10 feet deep, at least it didn't fuck up the alignment.

You'd think with all that Iowa FB PAULA revenue, IC could afford a couple of dedicated pothole-filling crews.

I had to replace a tire *and* the rim 3 years ago due to a pothole on Riverside.

You got off cheap. I'm betting this is the same hole that iowa basketball fell in. Last year it was much deeper. |

Iowa City needs those red light cameras to increase revenues to fill pot holes.

Iowa City needs those red light cameras to increase revenues to fill pot holes. Speaking of, I had a meeting in downtown CR this morning, after living back in IC for the last couple of years after 15 in CR it really is amazing how quickly CR has gone down hill and the flood just made it worse. Downtown is a F'ing ghost town. (yes, I know it's a bank holiday but commercial real estate signs on every other building isn't a good thing.) It actually would be pretty scary to see what would happen to that place if Rockwell ever left town, it would turn into Waterloo pretty quick and if the City isn't careful it might turn that way even with Rockwell still there. |

It's very true, CR is a fucking dump. Outside of some of the sub divisions on the fringes around town and some of the sleeper communities that city is a fucking shithole. It's depressing being there. I didn't realize how nice Des Moines actually is until I had been going to CR a lot of weekends. It's kind of depressing just being in that town. |

It is shitty here. That said I was in Des Moines last Sunday around the Jordan Creek Area and traffic was fucking terrible. There had to have been some sort of wreck on I-80 W. It was a clusterfuck.

You and your hillbilly brethren all have to flock to DSM on the same fucking weekend so you can ride the elevators, marvel at indoor plumbing, drive the wrong way down one way streets, and go five mph under the speed limit in the left lane....and then have the gall to complain about traffic? Fuck off you crackers and go shop at the I-80 Truckstop in Walcott or your local Wal-Mart. We don't want your fucking sales tax money. Just leave us the fuck alone. |

Is it one of those shitty state tournament weekends? Nothing, other than the fair, is shittier than those tournaments. All the fucksticks who think Neck Moines is some major city fucking show up. |

State wrestling tournament just got over Saturday night. I go down to Court Ave Brewing almost every Thursday night EXCEPT when a tournament is in town. Especially THAT tournament. I don't get close to downtown during those things...

Have the hicks from the sticks ever heard of the concept of merging on the freeway to oncoming traffic? JFC. There are 4 lanes, hillbillies, fucking use them. The state rasslin' tournament is an especially egregious prolevasion. Also, regarding potholes, while Des Moines gets some lunar-quality craters going this time of year, I've learned that a quick call to the city usually gets the situation remedied in a relatively expedient manner. I really can't complain too much about Des Moines' public works department. |

Same here, that fucker has had a rough couple years what with the fucking record winter last year and the floods following. He continues to deliver. |

Bill Stowe looks like he doesn't mind a bit of the devil's weed either. He's my guy in 2014 when we kick Terry Braindead out.

Also, T Bran is exactly the dolt I knew he'd be. No original ideas, no motivational capability. And he has zero control over those carnival freaks in the Iowa House. Nice leadership, T Bran. |

Let me know how I can help with Bill Stowe. I have some friends in Des Moines who think he is hot. They will definitely help. |

Just have to ask, what grade of gold valve stem do you use? $200 for one tire? Seriously? Somebody's fuck!ng you good pal. |
