Leaning Street Light

Someone hit the the light pole and fire hydrant across the street from my house. It looks like a truck backed in to both of them separately. I'm not sure I would have noticed it when I walked out this morning or not. Nat told me about it on the ride home.

This neighborhood is pretty hoopty as it is. This is all we need. Our grass is not mowed. There is a brand new fireworks stand at the end of the block. Now this. I blame the housing bubble for the quicksand that is my home's value. I should take the rest of the neighborhood in to consideration.

What I came home to.

Close up of some damage. Clearly someone was backing a large vehicle up the drive way behind the fish market ans smacked the fire hydrant and street light. Note the lack of tire tracks. This makes me think it was a large truck backing up with a long over hang behind the rear wheels.

I hope that hydrant still works. It would have been both tragic and funny to have come home to a geyser.

Past Damage. This leaning blocking concrete filled pipe was bent long ago. Goes to show the history of this shopping center.

Still Works. Kinda.
