Cover relic

 

Is that an eye?

  

This "Time Warner Cable Of New York City" manhole cover was made the East Jordan Iron Works.  In 2016, Time Warner Cable was acquired by Charter Communications, which brands itself as "Spectrum".  Despite its re-branding, the parent company still has not made a complete logo consolidation of its acquisitions, leaving these relics in the street beneath our feet.
