Why are our fire hydrants painted yellow at the top? An out of towner asked me that during the Easter holiday weekned and I could not give her a coherrent answer other than "Idunnoknow." Also, does anybody know why our garages are detached from the house and sits behind the house? I told the same visitor that it had something to do with carriages and such when the city first started building houses. Her next question was "why are the developers still building the garages on new houses in the city like this? To which I replied to keep it visually in line with what's already in place.
