I lived near that intersection for years, and the difference is striking enough this evening that I took a picture. I would say it's at least 90% the new sign.

It's worth noting that it was more noticeable tonight due to weather conditions, and they do have their Christmas lights up as well.

Is that all from that one sign? It looks like the light pollution covers a couple miles from a 100ft screen.

I don't live where it bothers us so I'm genuinely asking if that's all from one sign, or just the general light pollution from the Sunshine/Campbell area.

I only ask as I drive by it every morning (before 5am), and it's bright, but not like a nuisance and I'm curious of a before and after if it's available.

There’s a lot over by McBride park close to battlefield.

I live in the area, and I hate that damn sign. Driving past Campbell after dark is literally an eyesore. Maybe even worse is that it’s just a gigantic screen saver, usually a flag or some fish or something. What’s the point?

The one on East Sunshine is half-price if you go during the day.

Hey now, as someone who was born and raised here but has visited Texas several times, I can firmly agree with you. Whataburger isn’t terrible but it’s nothing special by any means. This is not all that exciting and I’ll only stop in if it’s not out of my way.

It would be very unfortunate if those excessively large screens at an already distracted and dangerous intersection were to be damaged by a medium velocity projectile from afar. My disappointment would be immeasurable and my day would be ruined.

Especially since they haven't completed the through street to Macadoodles yet, so there's only one way in or out, which is already compounded by Andy's and Popeye's.

Well, not since Andy's and Popeye's opened, anyway.

WTF? I left Texas for several reasons, Whataburger being one!

There is a truly absurd amount of free content on the Roku, especially if there happen to be older relatives who would watch old movies. It's not as much of a wild west adventure as it used to be, but there is free content of every type and caliber on there.

Bagwell lights are probably the most famous in Springfield! Someone posted an interactive Christmas lights map not too long ago also.

I followed one of these a few years ago and was a little confused and disappointed, as in a lot of them were just basic Xmas lights on a house or none at all. But this was around 2018 and I imagine the recently updated is probably better.

This is the right answer.

That's just part of the authentic waffle house experience

I hear ya, cable & satellite TV are cash cows, similar to long distance telephone charges from back in the day - if you’re old enough to remember. Thanks for the helpful info, I appreciate it. I already have a Roku in use, so it’s just a matter of research now.

Thanks for the good info.

Asian market on Campbell is probably your best bet

Can you blame them? We've really not got too much happening here. Especially in republic.

So I am firmly in the "cable and satellite can go fuck themselves" camp, it's been too expensive for a long time and now we have alternatives. As long as you have access to solid internet, you can get a Roku (my preferred option) or an Amazon FireTV. They're like 50 bucks for the fancyish models. There are quite a few free streaming services like Pluto, Tubi, etc.. With cutting your cable bill, you could also get a few streaming services and still come out the other end saving a decent bit of money month to month.

For local news, buy a cheap antenna.

They won’t lol. People here flock to anything new.
