brick streets
Old town roads
Brick streets are roads paved with bricks rather than asphalt or concrete.
Common in older American cities and towns, they're often preserved for historic character or aesthetic appeal: The historic district still has its original brick streets.
Brick streets suggest quaintness, slower pace, and architectural heritage—a selling point for neighborhoods and downtowns.
