The Worst Potholes in Rockford Right Now (According to You)
I swear, I have been dodging potholes like it's a full-time job lately.
Everywhere I've driven in Rockford, it feels like I'm swerving, slowing down or straight up slamming on my brakes. Now that snow has finally melted, it's like all these potholes just showed up overnight. It's brutal out here right now.
There have been a few spots where I've actually said "ARE YOU KIDDING???" out loud in my car. The worst ones I've personally hit were over on Perryville between Planet Fitness and Sweets N Eats. There are about 4 of them in a row and they're super deep! You either dodge them all.. or you don't.
