Quincy potholes harbinger of Spring!
With Spring Training, a traditional harbinger of the approach of spring, on hold given a greedy team owners’ lockout, one has to rely on other ways to trigger moving onto high alert for spring potholes in the mean and now also increasing rough streets of Quincy.
Accordingly, this Quincy Quarry road condition exposé is offered as a public service.
As drivers know all too well, potholes can do serious as well as expensive damage to their rides.

Also, to help each other out with filing successful claims to the City of Quincy for reimbursement for pothole-caused damage, every one of Quincy Quarry’s evergrowing legions of loyal readers have to make sure that pothole reports are lodged with the City of Quincy as absent such complaints, the city is under no obligation to reimburse damage caused by an unreported pothole.
To this end, one can easily enough file a complaint online here, including that pictures of the pothole(s) can be attached to one’s complaint.
Who at city hall thinks it’s best to wait for a taxpayer to report damage to their vehicle before the city takes action on potholes? I guess it is too much to ask city employees driving around the city to report potholes. Unbelievable.
Supply chain issues? Has Mayor Koch run out of family and friends to employ?
I’m just left wondering how many unionized city workers it takes to fill a pothole?
Two too many, I’m sure!
A harbinger of every day — year round.
Even worse, Dimmock Street was repaved from Hancock Street to the top of Presidents Hill last fall and yet the Einsteins at the DPW didn’t think to extent the work by maybe 80 feet to repave the inspection of Dimmock & Hancock. So what, apparently, for the fact that intersections take the combined beating of their respective streets.
