I don't think the buses service all of my customers.

I used to. I now manage a small business in the East End. I routinely leave the office to make deliveries during our busy periods. Better pay for less stress---save for the potholes! Bigelow Boulevard by the Residence Inn, Shady Avenue between Forbes and Northumberland, Fifth Avenue through Shadyside, and Wightman Street below and above Forbes are just a few trouble spots!

Absolute mayhem out there on the highways today.

I took this pic on the turnpike this morning near the Monroeville exit.

So glad I'm a walking commuter. Never have to deal with highway mayhem!

Speaking of highway mayhem, does Pittsburgh still have those colored dots or whatever they are/were which supposedly directs you around town? I never figured out how to use them.

This is paradise

Get out of the city once in a while... live a little! There are those of us out there that enjoy winter activities. I, for one, get annoyed I can't spend more time snowboarding this year instead of working. It's not doom and gloom all the time!

I don't understand how you cant avoid them. I drive a car that's bigger, and its tires are also bigger and wider. only time ive hit potholes are very small or I didn't see it and I could notice the pain it went through.

I think SCR you need to focus less on delivery time and more on driving/pothole avoidance. less tips < replacing tires every other month
