I saw the first one on church street right in front of the world trade center and since then I seem to find them everywhere. "MADE IN INDIA -- NYC SEWER" thats what they read and they make me wonder why did this manhole lid had to be brough over from the other end of the earth? Another thing that I would like to know is when were they put in place? Where is the seed and where are the orgins of this global supply chain that has a fingerprint on everything today.
