The kick-ass new color-changing light posts on the Third Avenue bridge and the kick-ass new Breast Cancer Awareness pink uplighting on the Alliant Energy building are totally kick-ass. I swear.

They just look kind of yawn-ass in this iPhone photo.

Fun fact: I wasn’t the only person who found the sight so kick-ass that I stopped my car to try to capture it in a yawn-ass iPhone photo just now.
