The "Broken Heart" Created This Monster

Craig's blog pre-dates Jim Ginderske's activism in Rogers Park, by almost a year. In fact, three summers ago Craig helped introduce Ginderske to the community, generously offering Ginderske some "guest blogger" slots. While our esteemed blogmaster is in Las Vegas, we take this opportunity to reach into the vault and dust off a blast from the past. My, how things have changed!

* Deep Hole on Albion


This gem of slipshod repair work can be found 160 feet west of Sheridan, on Albion Street. The City of Chicago Department of Transportation didn't bother to secure the iron plate, and as a result the cars force it away from the hole every time they go over it.

Of course the holes are growing because of the rocking plate, and eventually the entire section of street will fall into the sewer. I hope I'm not driving the car that proves this.

Blogmaster notes: This pothole will kill basic street motorcycles, James. You need a trials bike. Not a road bike. Keep them feet on the pegs.
