“The STANDPIPE Many people have made fun about those dingy white cemented standpipes; many have fallen down and bruised their knees after sliding, while fetching water in their metal buckets. Yeah, that’s what we called them back then “Go and catch a bucket of water-the pipes gone off” That’s what my mother used to say, “But I am going to be late fuh school again.” I always lamented. After a Sunday afternoon at Brandon’s beach, the water from the standpipe always felt good, especially after washing off the gritty sand from my feet and my bathing suit. Coming home from a long afternoon at the beach, a little water from the standpipe, provided instant relief.
