Historic Sidewalk Maps, Denver Colorado.

The City of Denver has municipal offices right downtown, and in front of their municipal office building, they have a series of maps in the sidewalk, depicting Denver in prior eras.   These are photos of a few of them.

Rotary Sidewalk Clock, Casper Wyoming

This is a newly installed Rotary Club sidewalk clock in Casper, Wyoming.  This was photographed during Casper's Eclipse Festival which drew a large crowed.  The clock is located at the town's new downtown plaza.

Clocks like this are sponsored by Rotary Clubs all over the country, but this is the first such clock in Casper Wyoming, and only the second sidewalk clock in Caspser of which I'm aware.  I'd never seen an actual example prior to this and was surprised by how large they are.  Very nice attractive clock.

Straying somewhat from the focus of the blog, this is an ornate manhole cover on a Midwest Avenue sidewalk in Casper.  The only one of its kind in Casper of which I'm aware, its been in place for decades.
