Brick Thurber

Brick Thurber Brick Thurber Brick Thurber was created in Thurber, Texas, a small town in West Texas, known for its signature red bricks.

He was laid on Camp Bowie Boulevard in 1929, along with several thousand of his brick brethren. For 82 years, Brick Thurber has loyally served the commuters on Camp Bowie, all the while being run over by cars, horses, and living on a diet of almost exclusively tire rubber. Having only seen the evolution of the Boulevard from a brick’s-eye view, he decided it was time to get out of the brick race,

and explore the historical boulevard he has helped define. Though semi-retired, Brick Thurber has no intention of slowing down. On the contrary, he has decided to devote his life to discovering all of the wonders that the nine-mile stretch of the Camp Bowie District has to offer. Over the last 82 years, he’s been hearing about all of the great restaurants, bars, retailers, and other businesses that have sprung up along the Boulevard, and he’s seen the Beautification on the Boulevard project take root. Thurber is passionate about the beautification of Camp Bowie, and, despite only just discovering the internet, he is dedicated to promoting the Camp Bowie District’s Virtual neighborhood: https://campbowiebricks.com/. Help Brick Thurber and the Camp Bowie District spruce up the Boulevard by purchasing your very own virtual brick. Brick Thurber is all about sharing the fruits of his Camp Bowie exploration. Follow him on facebook to be the first to hear about special events and giveaways. He also has 82 years of pent up partying to do. So if you see Brick Thurber out on the town, be prepared for him to get all kinds of bricky with it. Now that he’s on the loose, Thurber is anxious to paint the District red.

I can see you now! That’s because the good folks at TSO Network of Independent Optometrists in the Camp Bowie District hooked me up with an awesome pair of specs. Now that I have glasses, I look so distinguished – like John Lennon meets Stephen Colbert. Dr. Matthew Barber updated my prescription, and the friendly staff helped me pick out the perfect frames. Go “see” for yourself.
