What is this plant and how do I kill it? It is a weed that looks like a thick blade grass and grows very, very fast. It isn't crab grass.
I am going to try vinegar on the grass growing in the cracks, but this weed is driving me crazy. I have been pulling it out, getting the root even, and it still grows back. Can some one give me advice?

I do not think it is nutsedge because this pest is thick blade and tubular but the blade kinda curls but take a look anyway because all of these pests are about the same when it comes to killing them.
From your photo and description I believe you have plain old hard fescue (older type - there is a new version that is not like this). If this is what you have it will be very difficult to get rid of and seems like it takes years of diligent work to truly rid it from a yard.
Here are a couple of sites that describe hard fescue. Articles are long but have very good information.

I do not have any of this grass but I do occasionally have crab grass or weeds near another plant that I have to try and spot kill. My son made me something that others call a wick applicator or pipe wick or herbicide wick or weed thief. It really works well so I am putting a few links for you to look at in case you want to try something like this. First link is a place to purchase (others are available Im sure) and the second is instructions for making your own.

Hi, I was able to pull a good piece of this weed out yesterday and the root had a thick creamy white tube that the roots grew out of on the end. I live in North Georgia and see it in almost every yard. The company that fertilizes our yard called it Dallis Grass.
I have something similar. I'm not sure what it is, but boiling water poured in the cracks is a natural way to get rid of it.
