[Updated] Don't walk this way

Photos by Stacie Joy

This afternoon around 2:30, a pedestrian signal pole on the SE corner of Seventh Street and Avenue B fell over...
Thankfully, no one was injured. All the lights at the intersection went out, though. 

According to several witnesses, two middle-school-age students with backpacks gave the pole a kick as they walked by... and they ran off as it was coming down. 

One witness pointed out that the base of the pole was corroded ... enough that two kids between the ages of 11-14 could knock it over...
Updated 5/2

Stacie notes that the pole is back in place...

    Scoob and the Mystery Machine gang will have to investigate this one. Kids between the ages of 11-14? Nah. My guess is it’s the Blasofs, scaring people to lower property values and make a killing...

    So, what caused the corrosion in the first place? Is that normal?

    ...and that's what happens after years of dog piss pooling at the base.
