Lowell's cobblestones getting much-needed fix

For years, Lowell residents and visitors have oft griped about the lack of repairs made to downtown Lowell's popular cobblestoned streets, but those complaints seemed to fall on deaf ears.

This is all well and good - however, those original cobblestones were constructed in the way back days when craftsmen took pride in their work, very few men/women can duplicate that work. They may have been immigrants or laborers but their work lasted decades - that is, until the progressives in Lowell (whoever they may be) decided that tarring the roads was better - oh, look at how that lasted - maybe a few years? Then re-paving etc etc. That being said - let's hope that the next generation of movers and shakers does not repeat the past. Thank you all for the donations - Efharisto!

The cobblestones look nice but sure get slippery in the winter.

to Bouboulis: What is your problem? How dare you call me a "dumb greek"!! It is unfortunate that you feel it necessary to denigrate my heritage and commentary in a totally non-constructive manner. And, YOU call me dumb?? Go away.
