Alger Street in Brockton has its own Facebook page. It's home to some impressive potholes. Christine Brennan, 44, of East Bridgewater damaged her car there and got her claim for $1,000 in damages rejected by Brockton. Facebook is the way to reply to such things in 2011. She wrote about Alger Street: "I am one of the meanest, ugliest roads you’ve ever seen,” the page says. “I pop tires, dent rims, break shocks, you name it, I do it. I have been this way for about 10 years now."
