Relic

This relic of a something (a pump?) sits in a vacant field on Chicon. Wonder who owns this land?

Extra! Extra! Wastewater Tunnel!

Walking around on Halloween we stumbled on press conference celebrating the new Downtown Wastewater [sic, poster has it all one word] Tunnel. It was beside the Long Center on a piece of land that was fenced off and had a big drill for a long while. I think the festivities were just finished and out of sight there are some officials and reporters and cameras. Installing this baby has meant disruptive construction all over downtown. I hope it's done. Look at the size of that sewer tile sample they brought out for the reporters!

Fuse Box

Today is the first of the month and, hence, theme day at City Daily Photo. The theme is electricity. I've chosen to show a little detail, usually unnoticed in daily excursions, of a fuse box that apparently works a street light on the pole where I noticed it. All around us are thousands of meters, fuse boxes, wires, switches and transformers that bring us power and control it. We don't think much about it until it goes out.
