What do you think they're going to do with all those cobblestones? I could use a few to go under my new shed. :-)

pickup truck + cover of darkness. quick, before students use them to prop up the beds!

 

(do they even do that anymore? We used cement blocks).

Some 40 years ago the State imported a group of Italian stone masons to create that entrance. Now a contractor/architect is suggesting it be dug up to create a new entrance. That same contractor/architect is going to make a huge profit in the the update entrance and recycling some very valuable cobblestones. His/her firm should be asked to make a huge contribution to the football stadium for the huge contribution the State and University has given them.

anyone have an update on the construction? I would think it is approaching the final stages. I am back on campus on monday and can't wait to see what it looks like.
