Every day I drive 16th Street to and from work. About two years ago, the City of Phoenix tore up and resurfaced the one-mile stretch between Bethany Home Road and Camelback. I never thought that bit was in particularly bad condition, but whatever. Who am I to question their wisdom? The mile south of Camelback to Indian School Road, however, was horrific. I had assumed at the time that they'd redo that part as well.
Wrong.
And of course, over the next two years the surface has gotten much worse. Patches, potholes, cracks…the list is endless.
Six months ago I was joking with Ben that they'd probably get around to resurfacing that part of 16th Street just as we were leaving town.
And that's exactly what's happening.
Seriously.
