Gravel was actually very valuable in the construction & infrastructure booms of the 60s & early 70s. Also, it's not just crushed stone, but requires specific minerals if it's to be used as an aggregate in cement, or for paths & substrates.

Between sulfur regulations & the increasing investment in natural gas, Grey could've possibly been stuck with actually worthless coal if it wasn't pure, high quality anthracite.

I didn’t think there were that many Greeks and Italians in America in the 1850s, let alone on the West Coast.
Popcorn with duck fat, nutritional yeast, and sea salt is beyond.
Is this podcast guest a voice actor? I feel like i heard his voice in a Machinima series circa 2012
It turns out humanity is humanity on any scale
This ought to be a hex & counter strategy game
