     @Maryam The self-proclaimed "Cradle of Aerospace" can't even keep its roads clear of trash and broken glass...

     ...but they could find $24k to spend on this tacky sign with 27 red LEDs simulating the engines of a Falcon Heavy 😂

     @codewiz that's actually cute. How did you estimate $24K?

     @Maryam Ok, and who charged the city $13,500 for this neon sign? It looks like a middle-school project! 😂

     @codewiz But matches with the city's movie industry background.

     Yes. It's very overpriced. But that's how government projects are.
