I can't tell if this is supposed to be a pole or if it's supposed to be from a pole to a house.
00:16
I'm not going to get very close to find out, but I do see some copper layering inside, so I assume it is electrical.
00:23
Okay.
00:24
And so can we tell them, 8023 Spalding in the alley is a good address for ComEd?
00:34
