If it can't make it here, it can't make it anywhere!..."

It's only natural that when making a website, you come across tidbits that are not worthy enough of their own page, but certainly should not be forgotten.  This is where this page will come into play, being a showcase of obscure goodies that you might have never thought to memorialize....
Mail Box Post
Standing on the Northeast Corner of Fort Avenue and Light Street stands this concrete post.  It appears to have once held the miniature post office mailbox dropboxes that have long since vanished from the streets.
   
Dinky Fire Plug
Dinky Plug 2
Sitting just below Wells Street along Light Street rests an unusually old fire hydrant dating from about the turn of the 20th Century.  Thouse long since dry, it still does have it's vintage charms.

Fire Department Bands
The bands on this utility pole on Hamilton Avenue east of Harford indicate a former location of one of the fire call boxes that once abounded in the city.  These were abandoned in the early 1980's.

Checkerboard Crosswalks
Remember the "checkerboard" crosswalks that once were the standard in the area before being replaced by the diagonal line type.  One still persists at 4th and Annabel in Brooklyn.
