The New Hotness

  • Wheel Stress Test

    Spotted while walking on Rombout House Lane out of the Vassar Preserve:

    Pothole vs wheel weight
    Pothole vs wheel weight

    Looks like somebody hit that pothole at a pretty good clip and knocked a wheel weight loose.

    Rombout House Lane is a tiny L-shaped road serving as a Preserve entrance and exit not at the intersection of Rt 376 / Raymond / Hooker, but it’s slated for oblivion when NYS DOT finishes constructing the roundabout / rotary. With plenty of heavy equipment now crushing it, a walking pace is as fast as anyone should drive (or bicycle!) there.
