Manhole cover from New Orleans, LA, labeled "NOPSI." Since there's a hotel there with that acronym, not having much luck finding the org.

Not actually a manhole, but labeled a "Water Meter" in Natchez, MS. Made by "Harper's Foundry Jackson Miss". This one was taking right near the Fork in the Road National Site.

For #ManholeCoverMonday, a few from my recent trip to the Gulf (larger post incoming).

First is from New Orleans, second is from Natchez

A close-up of a circular metal manhole cover set inside a ring of small, light-coloured cobblestones. The cover has a grid pattern in the centre, elongated drainage slots around the edge, and the marking “25T PN” cast into the metal. The surrounding paving stones are irregular, worn, and grey-brown.

A view along a cobbled street in Szczecin’s restored Old Town, with a round manhole cover in the foreground. On the right, pastel-coloured townhouses with decorative façades and outdoor seating areas line the street; on the left, wooden terrace structures with planters. At the end stands a white gabled building with a brick lower section and arched openings, the Old Town Hall, which houses the Szczecin History Museum. Overhead, the sky is overcast.

It’s a bit of a grey day in #Szczecin, but that doesn’t mean that the town itself has to be! Here’s a dull manhole cover with a more colourful background for #ManholeCoverMonday 😺
