This stamp (actually a pair) is on the west side of Virginia Street between Eureka and Prospect. This is the first appearance of Dave Price Construction in this blog. The sidewalk is undated, so Dave is lucky I didn’t put this in the Hall of Shame. It looks like the driveway was probably done at the same time.

OpenCorporates has a listing for Dave Price Construction, LLC, incorporated in 2008 and dissolved in 2011. They were located in Charlotte. Interestingly, the only two names that show up on any of the documents filed are a Sherri Price who signed the Articles of Incorporation and a Manuel Moreno who was the registered agent and CEO. This led me to imagine the following dialogue:

“So Dave Price… does he own the business, or was he just the founder?”

“Oh, neither.”

“Then why is it called Dave Price Construction?”

“Dave is just the guy we send out to actually do the construction. We point him at a stretch of sidewalk and say ‘Get working.'”

Looking south on Virginia Street, which is a little one-block street between Eureka and Prospect which, like its sister street Rosamond, isn’t really part of the normal street grid.
