American Flag Storm Drain Cover

Pictures Taken 20 November 2008

This storm drain can be found outside the New Children's Museum in downtown San Diego. It is one of the many whimsical artistic elements that can be found in the immediate vicinity of the museum. There is a subtle little irony that American flag storm drain cover was made in India. Despite the attention paid to call center outsourcing, the majority of India's international trade is in manufacturing. Metal work is amongst the most important. And any worked mettle in the United States that has been made in the last ten years is likely to have been manufactured in India. The Information for the Children's Museum is as follows.
