From across the street, it definitely looks like a gigantic .... something else,.
One of many vintage fire hydrants around the Financial District. While walking around the neighborhood I've spotted several types of hydrants and decided to look it up. Apparently this hydrant was constructed in 1909, one of many "implemented after the 1906 earthquake and fire, when pipes broke and the fire hydrants failed" according to About.com. "The hydrant with a large, blue bonnet is connected to a pair of reservoirs atop Twin Peaks."
Lol.

Oh, Lord, why am I channeling Jeanette MacDonald whilelooking at the photograph of your fire hydrant?
"San Francisco, I'm coming home again--never to roam again...."
You younger "chil'ren" don't even bother to find out who Jeanette MacDonald was. Don't even Google her name. It aint important. It's an old queen thaing.
