What a glow up for Pogue’s Run!
We can't get enough of the new glow stone on Pogue's Run Trail! Not only is this a first-of-its-kind for our city, but it pays homage to the history of the area, as there was once a multi-colored glass cullet path in this location in the early-to-mid 1900s from the Marietta Glass Company at 16th Street and Sherman Drive. ? : CHA Consulting, Inc. ?? : Morphey Construction Inc. ?? : Lochmueller Group ?? : WSP in the U.S.
