I saw these in Beverly Cleary’s old neighborhood in Portland
Portland, OR
Used to be everywhere in Portland growing up in early 90s.
Or restrain your unruly kids
My street in DC has one of these !
Bike lock
I’ve seen these but they were tiedown points for awnings.
So cool they left these.
How about kids?
Or your Sub for fun kinky sex times 🤷♂️
I wonder how far below the modern road the original pavement is, because from what I’ve read, cities where horses were common transport were absolutely stacked with horse shit. And that hoop seems too close to the danger zone.
Still find them in towns with or near Amish settlements.
Thats where I chain my motorcycle
E bikes
Is this Charleston?
Those might not be for horses.
So does Mission San Juan Bautista Ca.
A couple of businesses on my rural NorCal town still have a hitching post in front of them. Occasionally someone will use if for their horse.
You’ll see that kind of thing in areas with a lot of Amish
We still have stone hitching posts scattered around the village in people’s yards
I saw a couple big into BDSM walk up and the guy tied him woman to one of these and went into a store, this was near a farmers market I was at, so I tried to feed her a carrot, but she was not having it.
“horse”
Good. The only reason we don’t all ride horses anymore is because these rings disappeared.
How else will they stay put??
In Portland, OR an artist created the Portland Horse Project where he would tie plastic horses to the remaining curb rings. https://www.facebook.com/PortlandHorseProject/
I tie my Kia Soul up still because I don’t want it running off.
Still have some at home on a barn.
That’s where you park your horse
I thought that was for my kid to tie them outside the store on their reigns so i dont have to deal with them inside
there’s an amish community relatively nearby where i live. the walmart in town has hitching posts in a section of the parking lot.
My grandfather’s house had a step-stone and a pylon type stone with a ring in it until a few years ago. The new owners removed them. No clue what happened to them.
Got them a few places here, this towns about 143 years old now.
Good for motorcycles.
Still have a few in old New England towns or vertical granite slabs with rings.
In parts of Pa (and I’m sure other high density Amish populations) the banks and stores have specific “horse and buggy” parking spots.
We still have a town ordinance on the books making it illegal to hitch your horse to a fire hydrant
So cool! I hope they stay forever
The Garden District in New Orleans still has the old iron hitching posts along the streets in several areas
there’s a park across the street from my old high school that not only has a sign saying, “NO HORSES ON THE ATHLETIC FIELD”, but also two buttons on the pole at the crosswalk…one at normal height, and one that is questionably high up on the pole. I never understood what the second, higher, button was for, until I saw a person on horseback push it to cross the street lol
