The COVID-19 pandemic has been a bumpy road for many Chicagoans, but they have mosaic artist Jim Bachor to thank for paving the way to some unexpected smiles with four additions to his 'pothole art' series installed on the city's North Side.

Along a side street near the iconic Green Mill jazz club in the Uptown neighborhood, Bachor has created four glass and marble mosaics inside small craters in the pavement. “It’s a little bit of an unexpected joy ... an unexpected grin,” he said. “It’s finding a little bit of humor in times that are not funny and elbow to the ribs of us humans and the ridiculous things that go on.”

“Everyone can relate to potholes. It doesn’t matter if you are rich, poor, young or old ... everyone hates them,” he said.
