BANK RUN

[BrianTheBailBondsman]

Here's one H.K.

Ever see the orangish colored sand on a construction site where a road is being built?

It is a sandy material that compacts almost as hard as concrete and is used to make th foundation in roads and elevatated raodways.

In the industry it is refered to as "Bank Run" I also beleive it may be called sandy loam in the Geologicial feild. I ask becouse I see this product daily in the central jersey area although it's not near a river bank and there is big money in mining it.

My question is: Is it really called Bank Run or is it a nick name becouse of its worth I.E. a run to the bank!

or maybe it was the BANK, as in the side(like a river bank), and due to its density the water would RUN off of it to prevent water from being on the roads

I thought this was going to be about the lack of specie in the early 1800's.

I strongly suspect that it's called "bank run" as the drainage property allows water to flow down to a riverbank.

If it were called "bank run" b/c of it's commercial value, dr's would call surgery a bank run, architechts would call their plans bank runs, etc.
