    I received a letter from Safeway, through Saul Centers, stating that the intensity of the gas sign has been turned down. Can anyone confirm this?

    certainly didn't look turned down last night -- either on intensity or price :)

    It's been toned down from blinding to annoying.

    Honestly, even though I don't live right next to it; I don't notice a difference in the lights - they're still pretty bright. Why do they need to be a digital readout anyway? We can all read the flip signs just fine.

    Yea it looks like it's been toned down a little but man it is still bright. It could be half that intensity and still do what it needs to do. I still get blinded by it when I turn the corner ;)

    digital = easy. Someone can change their prices from anywhere without lifting a finger. The pumps, displays, etc all can be centrally managed.

    Manual system require manual labor.. and replacement pieces.. etc. The digital read-out would be self-maintaining as long as the components last.

    I'm just surprised that it doesn't appear to have a "daylight" intensity and a "dark" intensity. It's not like that's novel technology -- my alarm clock has it.
