Tucson potholes get green turf toupees
Maybe the grass isn’t always greener in Armory Park, but the potholes certainly are.
Some merry pranksters have filled the potholes at Fourth Avenue and 16th Street with carefully cut patches of fake grass. Ten of the crumbling craters now sport bright green turf toupees.
The illicit landscaping appeared in early January, much to the delight of some nearby residents. They assumed it was a protest aimed at drawing the city’s attention to all the road damage in their historic neighborhood south of downtown.
“I’ve never seen them fix a single (pothole). They just keep getting bigger and bigger,” said Jackie Lanni, who paused to admire the small patches of grass as she walked her dogs.
