Main men at work

Published 12:00 am Thursday, April 1, 2004

Jack Crawford with the Vicksburg Street Department rolls a wheelbarrow of bricks to a pile as co-workers, from left, Ernest Garrett, Greg Taylor and Pardre Gray make their own load Wednesday on Main Street. Garrett, brick foreman, said the bricks are being removed from a 38-by-40 foot dip in the street. Once the brick and sand underneath is removed, concrete will be poured to keep the street in place. The 80-year-old bricks will be cleaned and put back onto the street in about two weeks, Garrett said. This is the 10th spot on Main Street the crew has tackled.*Melanie Duncan Thortis The Vicksburg Post)
