Stop in for a cup of coffee

That second pic shows why Philly roads suck so much. Look at how many times it has been cut and patched for utility work. I swear there is a secret law that says any piece of intact road has to be cut into at least 5 times. That intersection seems to be an over achiever with at least seven different cuts made in it.
Part of it is the not so secret rule that different departments and agencies aren't going to work together, and yet they all have some responsibility for the road. Its ridiculous. And since they all have different masters, no one politician can sit on all of them and make them them play as team.
