Appreciation post: the old brick walkway my grandma had since the 60s

I keep seeing people rip out their original brick paths and pour concrete slabs instead. My grandma's house in St. Paul still has that herringbone pattern bricks from 1964, and they look great with just a little sand swept in every spring. Why spend $800 on stamped concrete when the old stuff just needs some attention?

Think it really matters that much? Grandma's brick is fine but concrete lasts forever with zero work.

Concrete can actually sweat moisture that traps against brick over time, @karen_shah56.
