Anne Palmer has an issue with potholes in DeKalb County.
“DeKalb County needs to fix numerous potholes on Birch, Sweet Briar, and Mistletoe Roads, which are off N. Druid Hills Road,” she wrote.
Additionally, she said there is a massive pothole in the right lane on N. Druid Hills Road on the hill/bridge over rail tracks and heading toward Clairmont Road.
Palmer said DeKalb County needs to ride all roads between Lawrenceville Highway and Briarcliff Road so that potholes can be discovered and repaired on time.

Claire Potvin has an issue with a pothole in Decatur.
“This pothole on Pine Forest Drive in Decatur has been getting worse and worse for the past few months. In addition, it is impossible to avoid unless you use the other side of the median. For low riding cars, it is downright dangerous,” she said.

Jannell Knox had a misfortune that could have been worse.
“I was driving southbound on Piedmont near Monroe and had the misfortune to hit a hole which apparently had no grate. Needless to say, my right front tire was blown. That stretch of Piedmont is akin to a war zone, especially in the right hand lane. Luckily, I did not lose control and limped to a gas station and called my roadside assistance. The tire was a total loss and I missed my dinner date! I can only imagine that there are many, many more drivers out there that have done the same. What a mess!” she wrote.
