It’s easy to take Auburn for granted when you live in Auburn, things like tiger head designs on manhole covers. This one is on the S. Gay sidewalk between Tiger Rags and First Presbyterian Church. I’ve walked past it a zillion times yet it took the crisp focus of a stranger’s iPhone for me to appreciate it artistically (which is what you’re really looking for in a manhole cover). Such is this modern Auburn life… [a plastic Kroger bag dances through the air...]

How tragic that it has “Bama Foundry” stamped on the outside.
I too have walked past that thing countless times, and it never hit me how awesome it was until I saw it here. It’s all the little things.
I believe there is another right where Tichenor cuts through College & Gay Street, across from the Grub Mart and Henderson Realty. I’m just mentioning because I’m not sure how many there are or if all of the ones in Auburn are like this. They are really cool, IMO.
