Ocean Beach pothole contest!
(Originally posted January 12, 2011)
Who’s got the best potholes? Do you think your street has them? Or one of your oft-traveled avenues?
If so, send us the location and a photo of your favorite pothole and we’ll post them on our website. And then we’ll send the winner, the runners-up, and actually the entire list to the City of San Diego Street Maintenance Division.
What makes a good pothole? Size, depth, and location are certainly good factors.

Editor: This contribution by Rocky Neptun is a continuation of the debate about a new football stadium in downtown San Diego, begun by Andy Cohen here.
When I began my property maintenance business a few decades ago, I used 80 percent of my assets and borrowed an amount equivalent to another 50 percent. At that time, or even now, there was never a consideration that you, as a taxpayer, should finance my business venture.
