The new pavers are different. One hopes that they will turn out to be more durable.
Cobblestones on European city streets might last the better part of a century, and that's with far more traffic on them.
Is it a salt and snow plow issue? Or is it the more rapid freeze-thaw cycles that we have here? Do the Finns have cobblestones that last longer?
Of course, every now and then the French pull theirs up and throw them at each other.
