If you’re worried about light pollution I would probably get out of Springfield in general. The whole town is lit up.

I'm not particularly concerned about light pollution in general. I'm also not a Bass Pro or Johnny Morris hater. But I do think that sign is pretty damned excessive.

Years ago Battlefield Mall had a marquee sign at Battlefield and Glenstone, and that was deemed too distracting for drivers and removed. The Bass Pro sign is several orders of magnitude beyond that little sign.

The city will never enforce anything like that on Johnny Morris. It's a clear double-standard.

Not a double standard, just two standards. One for Johnny Morris and his pals, and one for us peasants.

No, of course they won't. If anything they'll declare Bass Pro blighted and give him a tax abatement.
