A new “Old Sacramento Waterfront” neon sign is set to be installed later this year atop the California State Railroad Museum, beckoning southbound drivers on I-5 to stop by for a visit. The sign will stand 26 feet tall and 45 feet wide and is expected to be illuminated with a combination of neo-neon (read: LED) and old-school neon tubes of gold, red and teal.
Commissioned by Downtown Sacramento Partnership (in partnership with California State Parks, the California State Railroad Museum and Foundation, and the Harvego Family Foundation), the sign was designed by Sacramento-based Pacific Neon Company, whose work includes refurbishing the six historic neon signs hanging inside the Golden 1 Center (including those for Tower Records and Shakey’s Pizza) and creating the new Broadway sign installed in February 2020 at the corner of X and 3rd streets, along with lighted signage atop downtown’s Piz

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS Steamboat Springs City Council will move forward on discussions about putting a property tax on the 2021 ballot, but council members were less enthusiastic about its potential during a Tuesday night work session than they have been in the past, with one member dropping support for the move altogether.
“We are not looking at the full picture of what this is going to do to our community members and if something like this would pass,” said council member Heather Sloop, who said she could no longer support a property tax.
Scott Ford, a local economist and former City Council member, presented current council members with data showing 60% of lower-income people in Steamboat own their homes, though they may have bought them decades ago when the house was worth a fraction of what it is today. If city voters were to approve a 5-mill property tax, the amount council has been discussing for months, many in the community would not be able to pay it, Ford said.

SASKATOON On Wednesday, the National Lacrosse League announced it was cancelling plans to play a shortened season starting in April, because of uncertainties surrounding the pandemic. That means no home games for the Saskatchewan Rush, which will affect Saskatoon businesses. “It s such an ecosystem of tourism, and the restaurant culture, and just everyone that that benefits from having a professional sports team in our city here of Saskatoon,” said Chris Sikorsky, owner of Sik Pics, the team’s official commercial videographer. The Rush are one of Sikorsky’s biggest clients and a lost season hurts financially. “It absolutely is a huge blow, so we have had to find creative ways to supplement that income. It s been a challenge, we really missed the team,” he said.
