I spent several days this week in Oklahoma City for work. Dave was nice enough to wake up at 5 AM on Tuesday morning to drive me to the airport. We hit a Chicago city pothole.
Two tires, two wheels, one police report, $1,200 and one hailed taxi on Western Avenue very early in the morning later…I made my flight.
Mrs. PicklesHo. ly. Cow.
Come to think of it, we had a permanent problem with the alignment on our last car, due to one particular evil street in DC.
With all that, I’m amazed you were still able to make your flight!
KatieSince the damage was caused by a pothole that the city of Chicago hadn’t fixed, we can file a claim with the city for reimbursement of the expenses. But you can’t file the claim unless you have a police report.
Wish us luck getting our money from Mayor Daley.
Mom/Grandma BHmmm… A leaky roof and ruined wall; a surprise eviction; an icy sidewalk and a hurt elbow; two damaged wheels and tires — sounds like Chicago is an exciting (and expensive) place to live.
You two are getting more than your share of challenges in the first few months of your marriage.
Seriously, I pray nothing else bad happens to you for a long time! Stay close to your guardian angels!

Why did you have to file a police report?
