    Now that’s what I call taking pride in your city :)

    Quite attractive for a manhole cover actually.

    That made me laugh, and then I thought about it. Sad isn’t it?

    Nice shot.

    That’s quite the intricate manhole cover! Interesting how it is made in India but meant to represent the local Reno city!

    It takes a good photographer to shoot a manhole cover and turn it into a work of art. As for the “Made in India” tag, it is sad but true that the U.S. has exported almost all of its heavy industry. Our jobs now consist of feeding each other fast food, doctoring our infirmities, and bashing our politicians.

    Has EVERYTHING been outsourced? Those are some lovely manhole covers though!

    Apparently, India must be great at making manhole covers. I’m from New York, and I first noticed “Made in India” on the manhole covers here years ago.
