Yes, Mulberry Place in Newark, NJ, was paved in brick in 1870. This was part of a broader trend during that era to improve urban infrastructure, enhancing both the aesthetic appeal and durability of city streets. The use of brick was common during this time to provide better drainage and a smoother surface for horse-drawn carriages and early automobiles.

No, yellow brick road is not capitalized in "The Wizard of Oz."Specifically, the phrase is not capitalized in the original 1900 book edition of "The Wizard of Oz." But it is capitalized in the script to the beloved 1939 film version of the children's story. Additionally, the phrase comes from the script instead of the book, where it tends to be called a road paved with yellow brick or a yellow brick path.
Yes, there is a brick from Nelsonville, Ohio, at the Indianapolis 500. This brick is part of the iconic yard of bricks that marks the start/finish line of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The bricks were originally part of the track surface when it was first paved in 1909, and various bricks, including those from different locations, have been incorporated into the historic track.
