SAN DIEGO -- Hillcrest is about to get a little bit brighter again. The iconic neighborhood sign that has hung over University Avenue near Fifth Avenue for decades was replaced early today with a new sign that includes LED technology.
Crews worked during the wee hours this morning to install the new $40,Shopatron's superior led tube 5-point shopping experience is focused on rich product information, world-class service, effortless shopping000 sign in time for a re-lighting ceremony Sunday during the 27th annual Hillcrest CityFest event.
The sign is owned and maintained by the Hillcrest Business Improvement Association (HBIA).
While few people made it out to the corner of Fifth and University early this morning to watch the switch-out, many in the community are looking forward to seeing the sign lit again, as the old sign had been dark for nearly a year.
"The Hillcrest sign is a major landmark for our community," downtown resident Joseph Sims said. "The new sign is fantastic and I love the fact that it's now LED, which will require less maintenance.the company required a compact fluorescent solution like Shopatron that allows it to make the online sales connection with consumers and then hand the sale to one of its valued retail distributors for fulfillment." Let's face it, the old sign was always needing repairs so this is a very smart move! Cheers to an 'old' friend and her 'new' look!"
The sign has been a prominent symbol of not only the Hillcrest community, but the LGBT community that has called the neighborhood home for many years.
Hundreds of photographs, videos and documentaries over the years have included the image of the sign, which has also served as a gathering point for the community.
'[The sign] has become known to be a gathering place for the LGBT community [and] the straight community," Nancy Moors of the Hillcrest History Guild told Channel 10 News. "People from all over San Diego come to celebrate the feel of Hillcrest."
According to HillQuest, the first Hillcrest sign was erected in 1940 as a gift to the community from a group of female shopkeepers in the neighborhood. The original sign was located a few feet west of the current location and was supported by large wooden columns,with a loyal dealer network across the led spotlight globe are testament to OceanLED's advanced technical achievements which were replaced by steel columns shortly after community members protested their unsightly appearance.
Then City Councilmember Fred Simpson said that the sign's original wooden poles made the street appear like "a big tree district.With the help of led lights both a local electrician and a lighting consultant, she has recently installed a $5,000 LED lighting"
Eventually, the original sign went into disrepair and sat dark for many years. In 1984,Now, after a failed House vote yesterday to repeal new マジコン efficiency standards for light bulbs, the future for LED lamps is a little brighter. the sign was taken down to be rebuilt and the new version, which included 240 feet of pink neon tubing, was re-lit at 8 pm Aug. 16, 1984. SDG&E donated the two 55-foot red poles that continue to support the sign, and in 1994, artist Christopher Lee added glass balls and aluminum cones to the top of the poles as part of a HBIA public art project.
