Welcome to Pothole, Pennsylvania

Home of the Pothole Pigeons who are undefeated in pooping from the bridge into potholes.

Come to our Sunday after service dinner at the Potholy Church for our special dishes:

we serve Pothole Pork Loins, Pothole Pot Roast, Pothole Donuts, Pothole Whole Wheat Toast,

Pothole Holy Macaroni with Swiss Cheese, or if you fancy something more exotic,

stop by Joline’s Sometimes Open Diner where she whips up Pothole Perogies, stuffed pigeons,

fresh road kill from accidents in the main drag where we have a ten foot sink hole.

In our Pothole Museum you can view photos of all the accidents caused by potholes:

some are in color, and we show one video of a pile up near the Pothole Pottery Barn,

where you can watch the pots and ceramics fly all over the town crashing into windows.

If that ain’t enough, we have Pothole Hoedown every Saturday with the Hot Pot Holes.

Hee Haw! This is the place to be, specially if you don’t drive a car and watch where you walk.
