If a pot-hole is big enough to fit my car in it, I call it world-class. The car will struggle with it because it goes all the way in and has to come all the way back out somehow. Sometimes I wonder if it will make it.
I grew up and learned to drive in Pittsburgh. That makes me an expert.
The biggest ones in Galesburg I believe are on Mall Road, which runs from between Perkins and the Mexican restaurant back to the Aspire near the Y, on Carl Sandburg Road. I believe Mall Road may be private which is why it could become severe and nobody would do anything about it. The city itself takes pretty good care of most of its streets.
On Mall Road you could lose a car like mine several times over.
There's a place near the towers on Henderson where you circle around to an alley behind a strip mall. That strip mall was near an old Goodwill but right off-hand I don't know what else is in the strip mall. All I can tell you is it is kind of up against that tower and has an alley behind it.
That alley, though, has a fine pot-hole.
I will keep you informed. It's been a long winter. I strongly dislike the highway (33) going to Kewanee - it's four-lane, it shouldn't eat cars.
