Thanks for the reminder. My dad used to work varied shifts and commute via our VW Bug to his job in lower Manhattan. The city was digging up these cobblestones on a Brooklyn street on his way home (don't remember which) in the 1960s and he loaded a Bug's worth of these cobblestones home each day until he had enough to do our driveway.
