World's 3rd Largest Fire Hydrant

The field has been filled with a walkway containing memorial bricks. There is a memorial to the firefighters who lost their lives on September 11. And the entire block is surrounded by normal-sized fire hydrants painted with the Dalmation spots.

Historic Crocket Street is only two blocks away and sports some pretty good night life.
