Is that a cracker tower? If so, unusual in that most mines don't have them on site.

I have a legend valve like that I installed above the shower nozel because the regular faucets and diverter are leaking and I couldn't get a plumber willing to work on it. So now it works overhead. Strange.

Makes me think of,among others ,this storm drain outlet in Juniata Park(Phila.)
I remember as a child the outrage of fear when I was there with my father and teenage girls and boys were hanging-out there and some of the boys (girls ,too)were going in there with penknives to kill rats.
Pretty quiet there now,overlooking Frankford Creek,the wall above the hole with it's little castle-like stone peaks. Nice place to get high. Every once in a while the hole will hiss and belch out some kind of vapor.
Only thing happened there lately is a few years ago some boys were playing there after a heavy summer rain when the creek was raging and one of the boys fell in and immediately was sucked under the concrete slab that forms part of the sluice that cants away from the hole.
For some unknown reason the kids ran and biked alll the way to North Philly for help,several miles away.Oh well.
Only other thing is they found a body there a few years ago..
