It looks as if the sign (above) has finally been fixed. There have been three straight days of properly functioning LEDs or neon lamps.

We've been following the saga of the sign on the side of the Bass Pro Shops building in North Utica. For months (or more?) the lights behind some of the letters have been out.

Here's a brief photographic history of the malfunctioning lights, as gathered by your intrepid (maniacal) investigative reporter:

Now that the sign appears to be fixed for good, we need to give credit to the proper person for getting it done. So far, odds out of Las Vegas favor recently re-elected North Utica Councilwoman Samantha Colosimo-Testa, Bernie Sanders, LeBron James and Santa Claus. And, a Lite 98.7 caller named Greg is convinced it was Elvis.
