If you are walking, try to take in the retail signage on the opposite side. Recently experiencing the difficulty, it elevated my displeasure of the tree lights to hatred. I appreciate many businesses have invested significant amounts to have tasteful illuminated signage approved, now just to be destroyed by the "Old Vegas" neon nonsense.
Whoever is designing Uptown is out to lunch. Look at the standard lights below and ask yourself if they match the neon club lights.
I can live with the old fashioned light standards. They at least do not detract from signage of retailers/offices, etc.
Those fake old fashioned ones are pretty hideous too, especially for a city that is proud of its tech industry and "modernity". Also, the light they give is extremely white, bright and uncomfortable.
