I was doing some work in a church today, in front of the church runs a street literally paved with glass. Back in the late sixties/ early seventies the city of Baltimore experimented with mixing bits of glass with asphalt. I enclosed some pictures of the shards of glass in the street. I found one piece that showed some embosseing.

I was wondering do any of you remember somewhere in your city they may have tried this. As a young boy I remember many streets like this. Now I believe its the last one left. The actual section of street is only ablout a 1/4 mile long.

You know there had to be something in there that was a keeper!

Here is the church

Its not the last street like that, Ive seen it before in an abandoned development area. It isn't quite as pretty as that tho.

I was referring to the fact that its one of the last in this city, thats why I asked if it had been done in anyone else's. I guess it isnt as interesting as I thought.

I saw a asphalt walking path down in the Montego Bay area of Ocean City that had lots of glass in it and was quite pretty to look at.
