Tijuana residents celebrate pothole "Birthday"
Piñatas and balloons were part of the celebration

“On Saturday, February 23, a group of young adults under the name of "Love Tijuana" celebrated the one year "Birthday" of a pot hole located at the
Via Rapida (Tijuana's Freeway) with balloons, banners, and even hats.
The mega pothole that was covered with water was celebrated with a party on a sunny day that fist seemed like a joke, but instead it was something
that was done to catch the City Council's attention, who all just pretend to be deaf to all the complaints that are made about things around the city
that are in plain sight.
In the video that was shot on February 23, guests arrive with piñatas, a cake, gifts, and of course with a wish for this hole to be repaired as soon
as possible, which just their "luck", Public Works personnel coincidently showed up moments after to repair the pot hole.
As shown in the video, "an hour later" workers arrived who when questioned by one of the guests, one worker replied that the city had this repair
already planned for today.
This kind of celebration is not new in many places around the world; several citizens in other countries like in Galicia, Spain, have done the similar
celebrations as shown in the photo below.
This is a good lesson, don't you all agree? Now how many more celebrations will it take for the council members from the City of Tijuana need in order
to respond to these embarrassing public displays?
"Tijuana welcomes you with open potholes" seems to not be far from the truth.”
