Ren's did you know, Old Street Post

Over here next tot city yards, there's still a old street post still being used. The street sign itself is new.

When I was covering the building of the overpass on Mission Blvd. few years back. These old street post, where hidden in a row of bushes that once lined the southside of Mission. Who knows why they were there, and they most likely got tossed in the trash.
