RE: Bricks... - 12/19/2010 9:35:06 PM    peejrey   Posts: 1608 Joined: 7/4/2010 From: Hickman TN Status: offline That's cool. You know a while back, in Nashville TN, My dad told me about a spot in the street they were working on,(A busted pipeline). We went to see and sticking out from underneath the pavement were railroad ties, not for a train though. In the 1800's-1950's (rough estimate) there was a street car track. It was buried under 8 feet of asphalt, but a friend of my father's was able to get some spikes, he gave one to my dad, which he gave to me.(The family collector). Just though i'd share.

The Mcarthur brick plant was more recently abandoned... you can go (illegally i think) tour whats left of the factory, and the house where the... well some guy who lived there worked. _____________________________ Why are the seeds on the outside of a strawberry...

RE: Bricks... - 12/20/2010 12:09:08 AM    blobbottlebob Posts: 3661 Joined: 12/20/2005 From: Wisconsin Status: offline Cool post Brains. And I love that you used them in your house Joe. Very neat. I find then from time to time while diving. I try not to take too many because, well, I find too much junk as it is. But when I get neat old ones that are debossed, I'll grab a few. I have been thinking about doing something outdoors with them. Maybe line a garden or something? They are definitely interesting. You'd have to think that there would be collectors out there somewhere? (in reply to JOETHECROW) Post #: 20
