Spokane has some really cool brick roads under the current pavement. Bricks are beautiful and durable, so why don’t they make roads out of them any longer? Because it takes a huge effort to produce them.
The invention of a new machine that rolls out an almost ‘instant road’ could change all that though. Here’s how the ‘Tiger-Stone’ works.
Wow! that is really neat. My first job was parking cars at Roosevelt Apt garage on Howard between 6th and 7th and it was a brick street when I worked there. Really slick with a little snow on the bricks. My dad told me they put bricks on the hills so the horses could get a foothold while climbing the hills.
That's really cool Charles, thanks for sharing! Something I found out about the bricks recently was that they were made specially for paving out a kind of clay, so each brick weighed as much as eleven pounds. Not sure how accurate that is but it sounded cool.
Hahaha…It's like the Pergo of Bricks, that's crazy!
I love the analogy @candiceyamaura! Now you just need a nice area rug and some sidewalks and you've got a whole new look for your neighborhood.
