Did you know
that the downtown Smithland sidewalks were brick for many years? It's true, according
to an article in an area newspaper.[1]
"The
town council has let the contract and work is well under way for building
concrete sidewalks throughout the entire town. Court and Front streets are the
first to be laid and after that the others, as fast as the work can be done.
The old brick walks, some of which have been in use over fifty years, are full
of holes and have long since become an eyesore to our more enterprising
citizens."
I didn't know that!
I didn't know that!
