Well, it’s been a long, long time (once again) since my last update here. If you’re regularly checking the Gallery page then you know that I’ve been posting some progress photos of the layout construction. I’m about half way done with the helix but it’s slow going. Mainly due to the addition to my family- a new baby girl! Born on 7/5/06.
In the meantime, I’ve done a couple other things GB related. I was lucky enough to gain access to a wonderful collection of old GB photos and documents which has helped greatly in my research. I also took a tour of the Georgetown Waterfront to document all the changes that are occuring there. And, I’ve posted a couple photos from a site visitor in the Gallery.
Lived by the branch at Massachusetts Avenue. Had to look both ways when crossing “The Branch” on the way to school (illegal in those days). Bob Maloney of Maloney Concrete was a newspaper carrier customer. If you have data/pictures of the concrete block factory at River Road or the Maloney ops in Bethesda/Georgetown, I will compensate you for your efforts. Living in Massachusetts, it isn’t easy to come by this info.

Hi Chip, thanks for the comment. I only have a couple photos of the items you mentioned:

(there are a handful of pics of the block factory in there)
Sorry there’s nothing that wonderful, but it will hopefully give you some idea of what you’re looking for. I grew up in Newton, MA so I’m a yank at heart. 🙂
