Here's Round 3. What in the world is this?

Want some clues? They're after the jump ...The clues:
1. It's downtown.
2. It's not at eye level.
3. Yes, it's the letter "R." No tricks -- I promise.
4. "R" is the first letter of the place where this appears.
If you think you know what this is, e-mail me at john.newsom@news-record.com. Include your name and where you live. Put "WITW" in the subject line so I see it.
Not all of the newspaper's content appears online.
