Someone start a “Pot Hole” charity.
I would like to start an “Adopt a Pothole” society or organization. That way I could nurture and grow my own pothole much the same way the city does. I could even give it a name like “Wheel Destroyer” or “Strut Smasher” or “Alignment Tweaker”!!!
Congrats to these worthy organizations, I am sure the funds will be maximized to the fullest potential.
Money well spent. Not.
Is Big Brother and Big Sisters of Prince George supported by proceeds from Value Village?
Not anymore Chester.
