I know I've posted a picture of this concrete stamp before, but it seems more relevant now that this stretch of side walk is now officially 100 years old. Unfortunately, it's also cracking more every year--you can see fractures spreading toward the date--and it's likely that some bright soul with the city will eventually have this whole block of sidewalk replaced with something clean and new and terribly, terribly dull.

I love sidewalk date stamps. The sidewalks in our neighborhood were apparently WPA and every so often you still can see a stamp in the older concrete segments.
A lot of the date stamps in my hood are WPA as well. This one just happens to be older--probably a remnant from when the city annexed the farmland & paved the roads.
