  • What you can buy with millions of dollars

    From Technobarbarian@21:1/5 to All on Sat Mar 4 04:34:29 2023
    Why heck, if you had millions of dollars you could buy a big light show.

    "San Francisco's Bay Bridge Lights Will Go Dark Indefinitely on Sunday"

    "Caltrans will turn off the Bay Lights, an art installation on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, on Sunday, perhaps indefinitely. According to NBC Bay Area, the decision was made because large portions of the light sculpture, designed by artist Leo
    Villareal, are broken and too costly to repair. Illuminate, the public art non-profit that originally installed the Bay Lights, is attempting to raise $11 million in hopes to save and fully restore the project."
