Eyes on the Street: SoHo
I should have called this one "Eyes on the Hydrant."
You mean, eyes on the dead hydrant. Probably hit by an auto?
Exactly. Either that or hit by a truck.
But it definitely was not hit by a cyclist:)
This is the property damage that happens when objects near the street are not secured by THE BOLLARD.
It could have rusted from a dog relieving itself. Worse still, it could have been a small dog or child that was hit.
This is a great picture to support Aaron's cause of make our streets safer for hydrants and phone booths!

So...uh, where's the water?
(If I didn't know it was there, I would think the "Necessary Clothing" in the backgrond was photoshopped in.)
Some of the time I'll help out a hydrant like this one. It's so sad when you see so many people just walking by. I often give them a dollar-- I know it will just spend it on drinks or drugs, though...
