   Huh? That's a good one! What possible reason could there be for doing this?

   I have pulled up brick railroad platforms. The bottom of the brick often has lugs, probably to help keep things from moving. Turning those over would make for an "interesting" walking surface.

   In an (futile?) effort to help revitalize downtown Marion, the city is replacing the pavement in the four intersections surrounding the courthouse with brick pavers. A friend of mine derisively mentioned it and I said that I thought it would have looked a lot better if the pavers went all the way around. He said that couldn't be done because when too large an area is brick paved, every few years the bricks must be turned making the maintenance prohibitively expensive. Does this make sense to anyone?

   *Rich, it probably won't make sense to those cities who have brick pavements well over a hundred years old and have fallen behind on this "maintenance" schedule. Ditto for all those brick paver sidewalks, driveways and patios. I wuz gonna work on client projects this weekend, but maybe I should be flipping the pavers in our entry courtyard!Hope Marion turns out better than Muncie...Ex-Hoosier, Steve
