Highland Boulevard Fire Alarm

old alarm and hydrant One of an increasingly rare breed of fire alarm boxes, hanging out on Highland Blvd. by the Jackie R. entrance, with its buddy hydrant. Our mayor recently lost a battle to remove all alarm boxes from the streets, to cut down on false alarms. He never did explain to my satisfaction how he expected legitimate alarms to be placed. I'm happy enough, that these quaint lifesavers will remain around a while longer. Taken in May, 1997.
