The First Concrete Mile

Send us Fan MailWhen I was a child, we had city streets that were paved but once you left the city you probably found more dirt roads than paved roads.  I also remember as a young boy that a lot of dirt roads would be coated with an oil substance to hold down the dust in the summer.  I remember how we enjoyed walking on the newly coated road and making oily footprints.  Our parents weren’t too happy about it.Now, although we continue to find dirt roads, even rural roads are usually paved.  In this episode I want to look at the story behind the story of how using concrete for paving began.  I hope you’ll join me on this “road trip”.Support the showIf today’s episode has resonated with you or helped you in any way, and you’d like to support the show so we can continue to bring you new and free content, I’ve set up an account on Buy Me a Coffee.
