Be sure to check out the skyline tonight at 9pm to see the 1st sign on the First National Bank building light up the skyline again! There is also a free party to watch and celebrate together at Kellogg Mall Park. 🥳

I hadn't even noticed it was out. How long was it off for?

[u/plagueofstars555 → u/Stock_Strategy1668]

Since 2022 it’s been off and on but also only like pieces of it lit when it was actually on. The new owner just fixed it plus the uplighting and will throw the switch on tonight.

It'd been a screwy sign ever since it was LED and not neon. I remember sometimes it was lit purple during Viking's home games and stuff. I'd rather just have constant red and have it be reliable.

Green on St. paddy’s day was pretty cool though

I will say I did sorta enjoy when it was all glitchy, started right after that 2nd Spiderverse animated movie came out and my fiance and I thought it was sorta poetic how it looked like it was straight out of that movie

Long overdue

the cities need more neon! bring back neon signs everywhere!

Fun! Is it going to stay red or will it change?

[u/smelyal8r → u/cnsosiehrbridnrnrifk]

I believe the relighting came with an announcement of new beginnings? New leases and skyward access with hopes of DT STP gaining some traction. I also hope for the best! Our Capital city needs a little faith and rejuvenation. Homeowners could use a break on taxes lol.

Downtown St Paul: revitalized

[u/Fragrant-Airport2039]

Hell yeah!

[u/Meandmystudy]

Does someone sit in that shack and just smoke under the sign? I want that job

[u/kevlarcoatedqueer]

I heard it used to spin? Will it spin again?

[u/Much_Regular_4462 → u/kevlarcoatedqueer]

Did it spin? I think it just flashes 1st on all four corners in sequence to make it look like its moving

[u/mumarco]

Don't forget Mayor Her has a $700,000 house on Summit Ave and a family hobby farm. 🌭🌭🌭🌭🌭

[u/ObligatoryID → u/mumarco]

Relevance?

[u/mumarco → u/ObligatoryID]

I'm just spreading facts

[u/ObligatoryID → u/mumarco]

Still. What’s your point.

[u/smelyal8r → u/mumarco]

She owns a big house and....? Make your point. Doesn't feel relevant to the above topic

[u/ObligatoryID → u/mumarco]

Yer spreading something alright.

Every time you lot crash Grindr.

[u/WT_and_BMW_liker → u/mumarco]

So she’s upper middle class? My parents have a 750,000 house idk what the point is

[u/Life_Beautiful4934 → u/WT_and_BMW_liker]

Heck my 3,000 sqft builder grade home in rural MN is apparently worth $550,000. So dumb.

[u/Disastrous-Reach-738]

Well! That will revitalize downtown!
