Virginia Avenue at Herriott Avenue
This one’s for Gene, who five years ago was fooled by the light on an M. Cvetich mark. This is actually a raised mark, a blob of concrete plastered on top of a flat, finished surface and then stamped. There’s another one, not as good, around the corner on Herriott. Very unusual.

This mark pushes M. Dias’ dates later than ever.
