524 Oakland Avenue
A. Rago is a new one for me. Notice that he turned the final 1 into a 2 by hand.

1932 – A. Rago

5 April 2009
5201 Manila Avenue
P. Ryan obviously made his marks using individual letters. The wire marks on some of the characters are interesting too. P. Ryan may or may not be related to T. A. Ryan, whose dates are later.
1912 – The Argentic Concrete Paving Co.

Lake Shore Avenue and Wayne Avenue
There must be a story behind The Argentic Concrete Paving Co.
1938 – V. Di Zillo

3005 Brook Street
I already have a 1938 Di Zillo—I’ve seen three, all with this date—but this is the best.
1933 – Aaron Dahlquist
23 January 2009
3009 Brook Street
I love Brook Street, it’s funky and quiet and some of the back yards front on a living stream, the one that’s culverted through Mosswood Park. And this driveway has only my second dated Aaron Dahlquist mark.
1917 – Sandin & Swanson
16 January 2009
3074 Brook Street
This is right next to the place I take my car, so I may have a chance to get a better shot of this scarce Sandin & Swanson mark.
1940 – W. P. A.
24 September 2008
Boyd Avenue and Clifton Street
This WPA mark is a genuine sidewalk mark, not in the gutter like most.
