^I thought I read the store is being split into two stores...Michaels is moving over there & someone else..either Marshalls or Home Goods...can't remember.
can someone explain the benefit of sideways lights?
I have noticed them in other towns, but this is the first time I've noticed them here.
1 of 2 reasons more than likely:
1. Horizontal lights tend to fair a little better in high wind situations because they're not as "dangly." They're less pendulum-like when hung horizontal. Many towns in Florida have horizontal lights because of this.
2. The power lines are probably a little lower than the old ones and this would allow the same overhead height as to not interfere with large trucks
But I don't see this happening anytime soon since they are replacing the railroad tracks and they remodeled the animal care on 14th st. They need to redo their plans and come up with better options...

To further confuse a populace that is clearly confused about how green lights and 4 way stop signs work. Not to mention the people that don't have a clue of what a yield sign means at a roundabout. Hint: It's not a stop sign.
I noticed a few weeks ago that there were people working on the back side of the old Lowe's Foods spot on Evans Street. The back side where the shipments of groceries would come in. Does anyone know if someone has bought that spot and are preparing to put something there?
A Marshalls and Michaels will be locating in that building.

Dickinson & Allen/Greenville Blvd.
Maybe because it's such a wide intersection???
Sideways lights are usually found (and look better) in a downtown setting, as in Greenville, SC.
