There Is A Lot to Like About Lowell -- The Cobblestones of Lowell

"There is A Lot to Like About Lowell" is the city slogan.
(See tab on right side called "Lowell Series" for many more articles about Lowell.)



THE COBBLESTONES OF LOWELL
The thing I love the most about cobblestones is how they look in pictures. Intersection of Shattuck and Middle Streets, above.
Intersection of Palmer and Middle Streets.

Center of Lowell, Merrimack Street, Central Street to the left.
Note: Unfortunately, the above stones were removed in November 2017, and the area was paved over. See news article, with photos.




Cobblestones on Palmer Street, above were repaired. Streets below need some repair.


Jackson Street at Market Street.
Some cross walks have a nice designs.
