It wasn’t until I created this blog, today, that I wondered why I don’t just call Jensen! After all, it wouldn’t be the most awkward phone call I’d made for, um, investigative purposes. But the website did not contain any information on or images of this particular model. That’s how I know these are called access hatch covers. After a few minutes of flummoxing around Google and typing things like “Streetlight control systems in the sidewalk”, I finally zoomed in on the image and noticed that the frame around “PC Street Light” contained a more modern clue, a web address:. I guessed that the lettering is 1970s/early 1980s and of course I wanted to find out more about it. These covers are located on Flamingo Road, near the bus stop, between Sandalwood and Rainbow in Las Vegas, Nevada. This whimsical font (or is it technically a typeface?) stands out among the other utility access hatch covers lettered with cleaner lines. On that Tuesday’s walk/run, I did look down and was rewarded with these two charmingly lettered access covers on the sidewalk. If we don’t take a second or two to look up or down as we’re going about the business or leisure of everyday life, we might miss something.
