E. Saginaw Hwy., Audia Concrete, 2006

This stamp is right on the southwest corner of East Saginaw Highway and Marshall Street, on the curb cut. I could equally have designated it as a Marshall Street stamp, but since it is in front of a building that faces Saginaw, the Army National Guard office, I let that break the tie.

Audia Concrete Construction (as their Facebook page calls them) or Audia Construction (as their Web site has it) is based in Milford. I know Milford best as the closest town to Kensington Park, the site of my most-loved elementary school field trip. The wild birds there would come and perch in your hand if you held out seed. Last I was there in the 2000s, they still did, and I imagine they still do. Anyway, more to the point, it’s in Oakland County, which means Audia came a long way to do this job.

The stamp isn’t visible in this photo because I am standing more or less right on it, facing the National Guard office to the southwest.

According to their Web site, Audia specializes in “concrete construction, excavation, underground utilities and site contract work” and was established in 1996.
