I grew up on Olivia Street near Burns Park. I remember that there were lots of WPA sidewalk stamps in that area. A. F. Thompson, too. And Winberg & Kurtz. Kids notice these things more, being closer to the ground . . . .

We are trying to locate for a school project where WPA stamps on sidewalks are located in Ann Arbor. We need to take a picture and would appreicate if anyone would let us know an area where they might be.

My wife’s grandfather was known to remark that the Democrats were the party of “free beer and wider sidewalks.” This expression no doubt dated from the days of the WPA.

Wystan Stevens had a note about a stretch of Ann Arbor sidewalk that might be relevant to this discussion:

Readers with sidewalks to be repaired should know be informed that additional cost reductions are possible. If several nearby houses hire the same contractor for repairs on the same day, costs of bringing in equipment and ready-mixed concrete are lower. Most contractors are willing to discount their price accordingly.
For names of a few recommended contractors see our website, DEXMIL.com in the Repairs and Renovations section.
