Decorate a New Orleans Pothole!

It takes almost a year on average for a pothole to be filled in New Orleans, so if you’re from our neighborhood, we’re willing to bet you’re pretty familiar with them. Reddit posts and Instagram accounts catalogue, complain about, and commiserate over them, and with typical NOLA flair, folks have taken to decorating them.

But what if you’re no longer in New Orleans, or your favorite pothole got filled in? You can decorate your very own digital pothole below!

Choose from the various buttons on the left to add traffic cones, signs, tree branches, and more. Once the item is onscreen, drag and drop it wherever you like, or hover over it to access the Edit panel and switch between different styles or rotate it. (Newer items will appear in front of older ones.) Use the drawing buttons to add beads or spray paint on top of your design. When you’re done, download your pothole to share with the world!
