Sidewalks: The Update

A few snaps taken before the rain stopped the action.

They began by splashing some kind of tarry stuff over the concrete ...


... then a man in a bobcat brought the shovel-pushers some asphalt
to spread out across the concrete ...


... then a guy with a roller flattened it out.


Workers laid out the bricks on the blacktopped cement.

moving through the downtown area at the speed of lightening,
cast the capital dome in shadow

lent just the right hue to the new office block at 33 E Main St
and the stainless steel shingles arcing over Walgreen's.
