From Foam to Stone, Parke Crescent Gets a Facelift
Styrofoam isn't just for theater sets anymore.
Parke Crescent Apartments in Greenbelt, Maryland is being renovated. Friday, it's getting masonry-like beautification work. Aleka Williams, Parke Crescent property manager, said next they'll get new balconies.
When I think foam construction, I think community theater or sets in black and white films. Forget today's movies, where we just slap worlds together with 0's and 1's.
