The pothole on Mockingbird was on its way to becoming a neighborhood celebrity. No no, you didn’t read that wrong. In the digital age, even potholes can be public figures. Until its eventual demise, the Mockingbird Pothole had its own Facebook page — complete with more and 600 “likes” — and it was even running for city council. But the social media friendly tire trap was “assassinated” on March 23 and there will be a memorial this Friday. Don’t miss it. Dallas Busted Utility Poles says he’ll be there.
