I still see a lot of outdoor signs that alternate between showing the time and the temperature. They're usually outside banks, and near apartment buildings sometimes. Libraries probably still have clocks; they want people to know how close they are to closing time.

Might just be the city I'm in (Vienna). The city put up these huge pillars with big clocks all around town, but this weekend I was on the biggest shopping street in Vienna and the clock showed 12:00 at 3pm. There's a watch shop I drive by regularly that has a big clock next to their store sign and it just doesn't work.
