Places We’ve Been
People Who Love Concrete
And Working With What You Find There

Of all the blogs I've spent time with, Marley's has consistently been the best time! He's smart, insightful and funny... A lot like Miller's "What's Fresh", only smarter, more insightful and funnier, not to mention more consistent and prolific. I take my hat off to you, Marley!
