Gigantic LED Screen Premieres on East Wall of Thousand Oaks Civic Art Plaza

Last night, a gigantic LED sign premiered on the east wall of the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza. Constructed in 1994, the Civic Arts Plaza will make its presence even more apparent to passing motorists on the northbound 101.

Project Manager R.U. Kidinme remarked "We are excited to swap the Copper Curtain for a more modern Times Square look on the east side of the building." Assistant Manager Noah Wei nodded his head in agreement.

The original design featured over 2,000 17 inch strips of copper that were meant to flutter in the wind like a wave. Due to concerns about safety and noise, the strips were nailed to the building.

The new LED sign, measuring approximately 240 by 330 square feet, will emit the brightest neon light display on the west coast. Thousand Oaks resident April Fuwels said "Although I'll need to keep my sunglasses handy as I drive by, I just love this new look."

April fools! this is view of the civic arts plaza the morning of monday, april 1, 2024. Yes, we had some storms all easter weekend which brought snow to the local mountains in the background!
