I took this quickly before the light changed on 5th and I think 47th, on Tuesday 2/5/13. It is a House of Hades "tile." I found an article about one spotted in Buffalo in 2008 on Delaware. Here's a Facebook page with others from the Queen City. Apparently, the House of Hades tiles are a "copycat" of Toynbee Tiles, which I used to see every once and a while. There's a movie about them. Doesn't the asphalt on 5th look surprisingly colorful?
