SHREVE — Rod Leathers and his co-workers make jokes about roller coasters as they look outside at the potholes near the Shreve Dari-Bar, watching drivers hopelessly swerve to miss them.

‘We sit out here and watch it swallow cars,’ said Leathers, who owns the Dari-Bar and is president of the Shreve Business Association.

The potholes are a growing concern among motorists, village officials and businesses that rely on their regular pool of customers. Leathers said the customers are still coming, but not without difficulty.

Mayor Keith Rickett said he has received multiple complaint calls about the roads. He said he”s been told repairs will be made before July 31, which means not before the annual Spring Migration Sensation (April 5) and the Memorial Day parade.
