Neighbors take to the street: Chicago wasn't patching potholes, so West Sider's became a DIY road crew -- chicagotribune.com

As a follow-up to the story I posted last week about potholes, here is a news article about a group of residents on Chicago's West Side who bought eight bags of a pavement mix for about $100 and used shovels, rakes and a 250-pound push roller to fill 15 holes. The group's members hope their efforts will shame the city into repairing neighborhood side streets and inspire other residents to band together and patch their own blocks. They also hope residents will create a citywide Pothole Repair Day.

And the city is concerned with KFC fixing them...
