LMAO!

Love it!!!

last time someone put a pothole plaque making fun of hizzhonor on peachtree, it got filled within 24 hours...after months of sitting open

He'll blame Atmos or C-Spire, who have been digging nearby.

I believe if I lived in that neighborhood, I would at least buy some gravel to at least alleviate the problem temporarily. I also think that no one living around there cares enough to do this. This is at least a large part of the problem.

He might try to blame them - normal for the Mayor, always blaming someone - but this sinkhole has nothing to do with their work. It developed Thursday night; I know, I hit it about ten that night before it was known or marked. Went by to check it the next morning to see what I hit since I knew there had neveer been that kind of 'pothole' in the area before.

When I checked it out, saw it is a sinkhole, not a pothole, and can find no connection betweeen the work Atmos has been doing in the area or CSpire's installation of fiber.

Will have to give the city one set of props, though - it didn't take them long to get a barrel into the hole after it developed ---- less than 12 hours. And within a day, as the hole got worse, the city brought a cone to go along with it since the barrel was sinking.

Good work, Public Works. Now lets see if the barrel survives the next twelve months while the city does nothing to fix the problem.

That is not a hole you just throw some gravel in, kind sir.

In one Southern city, nearby neighbors plant trees in especially dangerous pot holes.

3:01 PM, A man did fix some pot holes in his neighborhood. The city of Jackson tried to jail him.

Hey 3:01 - its why we all pay taxes. Someone has chosen to take on the job of using that tax money to maintain the city. They need to do their job. Otherwise, take the initiative yourself and fill that hole.

@301 - damn good thing for anyone who might be driving this area that you DON"T live in the neighborhood.

Pouring gravel into a sinkhole to, as you say, alleviate the problem temporarily, would potentially lead to a serious accident. This is a sinkhole, not a pothole. It has grown in size over the five or so days it has existed; pouring gravel in the hole might make the area passable for a vehicle for a few hours, but once anything as heavy as a car hit the general area, it could potentially collapse, car and all.

Thanks for your social engineering experience, though; along with your social measurment opinion of the area residents as well. Glad to know that those folks who do live in the area are both smart enough to know not to do something stupid, and care enough not to endanger others.

For the record, though, would you mind letting all the JJ readers know where it is that you live - so that we can be careful traveling in the area. (If its a trailer park, don't bother; we're not likely to want to visit anytime soon.

@ 3:01, it’s pretty well known by now that if that barrel is sink in’, it’s soon gonna be stinkin’….more than likely it’s a sewer issue if it’s sinking at least we will know in a few days.

4:17, you take yourself too seriously, especially for somebody who can play on the internet during the work day.

@3:31. I understand what you are saying but you should not have to do that your taxes pay for that. If that is how it has to be done you should not live on that street. Ok I know people are gonna say they can’t move I understand but I’m sorry you continue to vote this crap in.

Chokway

Chowkwe
Parkway
Challenge, right?

I bet Chokwe that moron will send someone to pickup the sign but for months sent no one for repair

The Bold New Capitol city doesn’t have much money left over after paying the lawyers for handling the garbage contract.

The City of Jackson employs 15 lawyers and only 1 engineer.

They take that sign out, a new one(s) need to immediately replace it. Think I'll go out and get a pack of poster board and permanent markers.

How many Chokwe Parkways is a city allowed to have. May need to start using ST, Lane, Avenue, Dr, Boulevard, Thruway, etc.

These types of sinkholes usually means a waterline is leaking below the street….
