An interesting secret place

Use Google Maps and go to the intersection of 23rd Street and Valencia Street in San Francisco.
There is a small utility access cover plate on the NW side of the intersection. It is painted yellow.
Go to the cover plate and see what is under it.


Remember
This is a secret

Technically, it's on the NE side...

The yellow square on the sidewalk is the non-skid wheelchair slope.

Look around the intersection, on the NE (but just barely) quadrant.

Not really a secret since there have been many reports and videos of this location,
but still a cool find.
All you have to do is click anywhere on the building itself to enter the "xxxx".
If I am not mistaken the gentleman in question lives upstairs.
His home and office are one and the same.
I think he owns the building.

I think someone here posted the Tardis link?
Another Googlemap interesting place to visit.

I always liked Mythbusters. Too bad they got rid of Kari.
