The Batavian's third wheel: Me.

By Ryan Sholin

Hey there, I'm Ryan Sholin, filling in at The Batavian today for Philip.

I'm at Main Street Coffee at a table facing the window - stop by to say hello and let me know what you'd like to see more of here at Batavia's first online news source.  (I had a good cup of coffee and a great grilled cheese sandwich, but I'm about to hit the road.  Thanks!  I'll be back soon.)

I've got something in mind myself -- One of you wrote in to point out that the old red brick is showing through some unrepaired asphault on Walnut Street.

So I took a drive down Walnut on my way in this morning, and I think I saw the spot in question, close to the railroad tracks, but I've gotta say -- and I drive a ten-year-old Honda -- I was unimpressed with the depth of the pothole.

It seemed like par for the course here in Western New York, but I'm new to the area, so don't trust me -- let us know where the worst potholes are in Batavia.

Use the "Send us news" button to submit your (least) favorite roads in town -- you can even send in a picture of the offensive street.

We'll pass your submissions on the Department of Public Works and see what happens next.

[UPDATE: We've added a Batavia Pothole Map where you can flag spots that need repair.  Check it out!]
