Where are Oakland's worst potholes? Residents chime in

Kathie Smiths tire blew out after driving over a pothole on Lakeshore Avenue in Oakland. 

As Oakland city officials on Monday warned that the "pothole blitz" to repair the city's cracks, dips and dents in the street would likely last longer to fix because of the winter rains, residents chimed in on areas they'd like to see fixed first.
