Lights in Time For Christmas

Over the past year and a half that I've been blogging, I've had several posts about the signature grain tanks that sit at the south end of Town Center North Lake. One of the oft-reported concerns had to do with kids climbing the tanks and running the catwalks, especially after drinking. To make that more difficult, we implemented several ideas, from fences and signs to hiring a security service, to cutting off the ladders. It hasn't been quite as alluring in the 116 degree heat, but we are still keeping an eye out.



One of our desires is to upgrade the view; so over the last year, Bias for Action has sprung into action (no surprise!) to spearhead these improvements. The damaged quonset hut and grain mill have been removed, the tanks have been painted a shiny silver, and for quite some time he has been working on getting lights on the top. There are always delays, and this is no exception, but I'm happy to report that there are some authorized tank-climbers on site at this very moment:




I'm not sure how soon we'll see the lights, but it's reasonable to think that, even in the Land of Improbable Delays, we will have them by Christmas!
