I have one and will get at least one more to have around the house. With all of the changes, creep and shifts happening to Downtown Lexington, I want to have my little pieces.

For me, these bricks are reminders of the walks that my grandmother took us on downtown when there was still a hardware store, and Leggett’s, and the toy store with the train set in the front window. The owner would see us outside and always turn it on for us. Then we would go get doughnuts and eclairs from the bakery before heading back home. If they didn’t have any chocolate iced doughnuts left in the case, those amazing ladies would rush back through the saloon doors to the kitchen and come out with one to eat and more to take home. I can still picture EXACTLY what that place looked like.

All of the anecdotes to say that, as a native Lexingtonian, I can’t wait to bring a few more sidewalk bricks home.
