Room with a View

From our newly renovated patio, we have a clear view of one of the many manholes in this city that has residents. I know for a lot of people, this is hard to imagine. Turns out, a few weeks ago 2 of the residents were coming home from returning bottles, and were completely intoxicated, so I was watching them try to get the manhole cover off the hole. Partly worried about their safety, and partly curious. Unlike most of the manholes which people live in because they are very warm from the steam pipes, this is doesn't connect to the steam pipe system. It was built when the apartment buildings behind us were built last year. We have yet to figure out the purpose of this underground space, besides to be a bunker for the homeless. So, in a rare chance to take some photos without being intrusive, we thought we'd share what we see on a regular basis with you.
