What is missing from the pole in the foreground? The street light. A man apparently committed suicide on the 19th of January. He landed in the bike lane. (The link for the picture shows the light fixture on the sidewalk. Don't worry as I have self censored the photo!) On the way down his body hit the light pole taking down the whole fixture. This is the 10th suicide by someone falling from the Fox Plaza that I am aware of in the 44 years of my residence.

The signage on the pole is upside-down. Crazy times we live in.
