Announcing The Newest Patches Pavers at ‘Late For The Interurban’

On September 3rd, History House sent out word that a new batch of personalized messages have been added to the brick work at the Late For The Interurban statue, by Kevin Pettelle, engraved on-site, and the new pavers “look terrific!”

Go see what new quotes, names and/or sentiments have been added to the much beloved J.P. Patches and Gertrude tribute statues, at 837 N 34th Street (in the building now containing the offices of Tableau, Ubermind and, soon, Groundspeak.)  The newest pavers are the 4th & 5th rows in front of the statue.

Patches Pals may also want to stroll across the street to History House (790 N 34th) and check out the replica being built of the J.P. Patches set.  They continue to add original pieces from the t.v. show, as well as startlingly true replicas.  History House is open Thursdays – Sundays, from Noon to 5p.

For those who missed this chance to order a paver – or realized they want to add another one – visit the History House website and fill out a reservation form.  Another batch of engravings will be done when enough orders come in, and several have already been submitted.  Don’t miss out!
