WAVY GRAVY
I suppose I could embrace all face brick with glee but these glazed bricks are increasingly troubling. I like a rough surface be it pocked, pleated, smeared, whatever. Smooth bricks are beginning to give me the willies.
Consider them snubbed but I will continue to document them out of respect for their family. I simply adore the rare address in the limestone! This surface crumbling of glazed brick is becoming rampant and not just in TGS.
