Street Light Lust



Monrovia is a city undergoing rennovation: projects are planned all around Old Town and beyond, and I wonder if city officials could be persuaded to start implementing some lovely street lighting on selected residential streets? Pretty Please? Anyone who has visited Monrovia knows how well it's worked for Old Town. You can regularly observe visitors strolling arm-in-arm under the decorative street lights. And, of course, it could only increase the area's desirability. Just drive through San Marino and you will see what I mean. The ambience is lovely. For examples of styles, check out the Fancy Street Light Company, which seems to be capitalizing on the beauty of yesteryear. It would be so welcome—but, if I have to be practical, I suppose we should concentrate on getting our new library first.

Take a look at King and Maple streets in the Esplanade area (north of Huntington, between Mayflower and Monterey). Lots of period street lights there...
