Capitol Way Tree Lights

Goodmorning OlyBloggers, Just thought I would pass along an interesting morning, which involved this fine fellow from the city on his basket lift about 2 feet from my apartment window. Santa?!

 

 

 


Not quite, actually, quite the opposite: Here is a picture of him on the other side of the street. I've been watching him all morning go up and down capitol way removing strands of christmas lights from the tops of all the trees. I really had no idea they were up in their, but as I watched they just seemed to appear out of nowhere in the trees.

Does anyone remember a time when Capitol Way was all lit up with lights? I don't.

Who knows how long those lights have been hanging out up in those trees. I feel bad for this guy though, those lights are so tangled. He is being so meticulous about moving his lift to every trouble spot and undoing it, rather than just yanking on them.

This job is going to take awhile. (Sorry for the crummy picture, it's from my phone)

not sure...

But the lights might be from last year.

Capitol Way was lit up last year. Badly, with only a couple strings per tree and the lights had a blueish light to them.

This year the PBIA is purchasing different lights that don't go into the trees but fixtures that will be connected to existing poles... but wait I'm spilling the beans... it's going to be grand!

Every year since I can remember

The lights have been there every year, remember the big outrage over the LED lights last year, because they were bluish and not white?
