Touché Both in 1914 ouch. Should have stayed with my original thought. I was going to say parks from 1900>

I don't qualify for the first and I missed out on the second.

That's the pits. So there is no satisfaction for you at all after wiping out your front end in a pothole?

My wife is from Boston and we lived there for a number of years. She's a rabid Red Sox fan. The Cubs are my National League team and we've been to see them play a number of times in Chicago. The fans in both parks take baseball dead serious and if you like baseball both locations are a joy to go and watch games at.

Fair comment.

But can we get even timely replacements? A concrete pipline with plastic insertions perhaps? For example.

If you are using plastic, why the concrete? A steel grid sleeve would protect the plastic and is far easier to handle and install

My point was many systems are maintained by mix and matching matrerials over the generations. Concrete, cast iron, steel, lead, plastic, stone and cedar staves, all in the same system.

Maybe great grandpa's axe gets a plastic handle when the hickory one breaks.
