No city name on the lid? Maybe this is the best crawlspace access ever?

I used to have to poke around in manholes. Not all of them have the name of the city on them, and not all of them go to a sewer. Some of them have cables in them.

The one pictured does look like a municipal manhole cover instead of one belonging to AT&T or another communications company, just because of the design on it.

That was one thing I could never do when I was an "urban explorer" (fancy term for trespassing in to municipal water infrastructure), manholes always freaked me out so much my friends couldn't even peer pressure me.

That's for the best. You can 100% fall over dead before you know what's happening in an unventilated manhole.

I was under the impression that the grates which don't have a city name are older from a time before people realized that they can be stolen and sold for the value of the scrap metal.

Then municipalities started to stamp their name on it and metal recyclers couldn't take them anymore unless you took it to a shady recycler so the value dropped.

No idea how true that is though.

I seem to remember this being a Reddit post some years ago actually. Don't know much more than that.
