Pam, that's cobblestone, not brick. [[A fine point, I grant you.)

I agree w/ RickBeall that the current cobblestone job on West Canfield was installed [[not uncovered). They also changed the alignment a bit, incldg adding the bits of median, when the 1980's cobblestone job was done, some 10 years after the historic designation, I believe. I lived there when it was a simple straight two-way asphalt street in 1974-'75-'76.

I remember something about the Association pressing the city to finally close the hooker bar around the corner, Anderson's Gardens, before agreeing to the cobblestone and the building of the condos off the Lodge Freeway end of the street. Was it both? or just one? Anyway, they leveraged the city over at least one of those projects.

I love brick and cobblestone, it's just not original.
