I've never seen a "decorative" manhole cover in Florida or Georgia Has anyone actually seen one in their daily surveying activities?

Have a great weekend! B-)
City of Miami has some but i believe they are pretty old...
Little Rock used to have a lot of these:
They went to missing and the city replace all but a few downtown.
DDSM:beer:
New Orleans Sewerage & Water Board has some nifty ones with a cresent for "The Crescent City" - because of the bends in the Mississippi River at the city. If I recall correctly, there's some stars in the covers too, but I don't know why.
Here are some from Lincoln, Nebraska. This is not my photo site, but shows some I have seen. The University of Nebraska also has their own. Deeter Foundry is located in Lincoln who makes most of the manhole covers in this area.
