A Helpful Kind of Tagging!


Anyone familiar with graffiti knows ‘tagging.’ A spray painted ‘signature’ of an individual or a group. A marking of a territory.

Well, there is a pot hole ‘tagger’ in Marshalltown, leaving his/her signature up and down the streets and roadways, marking the hazardous territory for fellow travelers.

After a winter of freezing, thawing, freezing and thawing, the street surfaces finally gave way and ‘coughed up’ large sections of black top and concrete – leaving pot holes. Some are the pot holes from hell. Evidentially, someone in town, with some “OSHA Orange’ spray paint, decided to point out these road hazards, providing sufficient warning for the driver to slow down and go around!

The picture above was taken shortly AFTER the pothole was patched. However, the 'frown' is still sufficient warning to announce a not-too-level patch in the roadway!
