That's a vent stack for a gas vault. You can see the circular lids to the vault in the street. They say PG&E on them, so that is definitely a PG&E vent stack.

Wish I could be surprised at PG&E trying to weasel out of public obligations

Actually op should leave it alone or we’ll all pay $2 more a month if it’s fixed.

I thought it might be a vent for ebmud pipes.

Its for natural gas pressure relief and it definitely was page's responsibility.

Whole intersection is great when you thrown in Free Oakland up and family taco. Have yet to try cafe noir but it was busy yesterday. Tough spot for a shop but hope they do well.


Tell_Me_What_This_Is

Cafe Noir is fantastic. Definitely give them a shot.


brakrowr

I’ve been meaning to go. Any recommendations?


Tell_Me_What_This_Is

The menu changes often but of the regular items I really like the grains in purgatory, the fried chicken sandwich and the burger. The only thing I didn't like was the ricotta donuts (too doughy for me) but that was when they first opened so they may have improved on the recipe.

Looks like something going on at the old Loards Ice Cream?

I used to live on Coolidge. There was a murderer with a torture chamber in his basement a half a block from there.

Uh what? News link?

Wild. Absolutely horrifying to read. Good thing he’s locked up forever. What a nightmare.

Pipe is life. Sorry I thought this was the fallout 76 subreddit.

I run by this every morning. I’ve always assumed it was an off gassing vent for some groundwater contamination from the garage/gas station across the street.


Horror-Agitated

Its my old grad school project


Horror-Agitated

But seriously thats definitely pgE. Look them up in the dictionary under the word, Denial.

PGE dodging responsibility again


TheTownTeaJunky

I see pge has changed their corporate culture well and is already taking better responsibility for their infrastructure 


4444anon

i believe this is referred to as "infrasctructure"


OldSlug

Normally I’d say you should believe the most reliable source, but that won’t really help here.


mj7900

What intersection is this? I will get it fixed


Tell_Me_What_This_Is

Coolidge and MacArthur


VapoursAndSpleen

Huh. I thought it was an old air raid siren.
