Squatters Take Over Potholes

Moline- Squatters have begun setting up house in potholes around the area. This has started to create a legal mess. "Where the rules of the road meet squatters' rights, there is a mess," a source close to the Sheriff told the Yowza.

"We just want our rights!" said Mrs. Farnsworth who has set up a nice two bedroom suite near the 2800 block of river drive. "Housing is so expensive, and here are large spaces for the taking. Eventually, I think we could get the city to use eminent domain so that we can take the snowbanks and turn them into condos."

Of course, the question on everyone's mind is: What about going to the bathroom?

"The river's so close," Mr. Davis who lives near the curb on the 3100 block, "Well, turns out our excrement is cleaner than it is. We contribute to making the river cleaner...actually".

What happens when the city fills in the potholes, we asked the squatters, "Not much," they said.
