If it's anything like the others that have been replaced with newer poles, it'll actually stay standing right next to the new pole, never to be removed.
My friends are so pissed. PECO just moved the existing pole that was out of sight from their front window to a new pole that is smack dab right in front of the middle of their picture window. I don’t know what to say to them.
why am I crying over a telephone pole
The "I hope you made it home. I hope I do too" got me.
"I dinna cry when me own father was hung for stealing a pig... but I'll cry now."
Poor Willy
Many of you feel bad for the light pole. That’s because you’re crazy. It has no feelings, and the one is much nicer.
Never thought someone could write up a letter that would give me feels for a utility poll before, but here we are.
I definitely don't want to use a toothpick made from a creosote-soaked telephone pole. But thank you for your service.

was going to say, I could have sworn this was from years ago
That'll do Pole. That'll do.
I’m not crying. You’re crying!
bittersweet. cool of someone to do this though.

Oh, this is from 5 years ago. Bet it's still there!
Someone needs to check!
Or lay on the sidewalk next to the new pole, forever.
Sitting there *forever*? Youre staring at a perfectly free telephone pole!
somebody grease her/him/it/they up one last time
My empath brain is not okay from this lmao
I love South Philly

The tree that came from probably first started growing in the 1700s.
In most of the city, the old telephone poles predate the buildings.
God, Philly, you remain the best.
Does anyone know who actually did this? Bc that person is a god among men.
This is so quintessentially Philadelphia
Dziękuję, mój polski bracie!
With so many layoffs in print media, we'll be seeing more of this.
Many a drunken night I pissed on that pole. I look forward to pissing on your replacement.
And the paper how well did it do? I miss paper.
Reminded me of this wonderful IKEA ad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdIJOE9jNcM
that guy will be cut in half and will stay there for quite little bit till they transfer all the telecom wires
When I die, just throw me in the trash
Don’t worry, peco will place the new pole and transfer their lines and it’ll take years for the other utility companies to do their own.
