Kansas City, MO: Man Throws Birthday Party for Pothole

Posted by Content Coordinator on Friday, July 19th, 2019

Fed up with the hundreds of potholes that line Kansas City streets and a perceived lack of urgency from the city to fix them, Frank Sereno decided the best way to solve the problem was to celebrate it.

He threw a birthday party for the 3-month-old pothole on his street, complete with a slice of cake with a candle on top.

“I didn’t sing to him,” Sereno told CNN affiliate KCTV. “I thought about it, but it was a little bit warm, so I said, ‘Well, we’ll just do the cake.'”

Sure enough, within days of posting a photo of the festivities to Facebook, the public works department filled the hole.
