When Rita Dove became the US poet laureate in 1993, this was the headline: Lovely Meter Rita Made. I didn’t use it because I wrote about it not too long ago. Now I think that was probably a dumb idea. I should’ve included it.
That fifth photo ... the hydrant leading a chorus of meters ... suggests a mystery. What did those stairs once lead to? Was there a doorway there at one time? While the brickwork looks neat and tidy, all the same color, in some places, it looks suspicious.
Made me want to listen to the Beatles sing about "Lovely Rita, Meter Maid."

It’s all about noticing, isn’t it?
Funny you should ask, as I did a drawing of one of your meters and am about to post it to IG 😊
Cute: " It looks like the orange fire hydrant is conducting a chorus of meters"
wonderful! all of it.
Lovely musings.
