        Not at all trendy, but English isn't this guy's first language.

            How many collapsing bridges will it take for someone to actually fix our infrastructure? Granted, I know that means forcing politicians to spend road funding on actual roads, which is apparently the difficult part.

              Not sure if that's an infrastructure thing or just a really hot fire thing.

                Correct. this was a fire and damage. not bad infrastructure..

                Yet another example of @travisdh1 needing to take off his tin foil hat.

                  Ah, apparently I should've looked at more than the headline. Still, doesn't change my original sentiments.

                    They're spending all of our infrastructure budget on the new baseball stadium... in Cobb freaking County (already the worst traffic in town, let's put a stadium there!!!) The whole thing is just a greasy political move by crooked politicians and everyone knows it.

                      It was an INSANE sized fire. Could see the smoke for many, many miles.

                          Speaking of bridges, the worst one I have ever seen was this baby:

                          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacques_Cartier_Bridge

                          I almost went into the water because a pothole practically sent me airborne.

                              Owch man, that sucks. That area is usually bad for traffic anyway, innit?

                                  Very bad. It was gridlock in all directions all around the 85 / Buford Hwy corridor. The stuff of nightmares.

                                    Dammit, we didn't make it there last time. Maybe we will stop by next time.

                                      It's not anything special to me, but then I was born and raised in that area too. I've been to other zoos I guess none of them ever were quite that good but only a couple zoos
