Looks nice, but overall I dont care for it. Santa Ana is notorious for light pollution. This is a desperate attempt to get some foot traffic there since the 2020 shutdown. Same with mainplace, they also installed color changing led lights by jcpennny.

That’s a fair and reasonable position. I respect the need to reduce light pollution. It is fun for kids tho. It’s not nearly as bad as the Irvine Spectrum ferris wheel lighting situation

Did they really finally fix the lights that run along the edges? They were broken for years.
I saw a post here some years ago from the guy who broke them accidentally and he said his mistake was too costly to fix so they just never did.
I moved out of town for a period of time but grew up here in the OC with the Cube being a staple of passing ‘that’ part of the fwy. I honestly don’t remember it ever being lit up but it sounds like it was during the period of time that I was studying out of town.
I distinctly recall a time when the Cube started to look a little sorry and the story about someone accidentally breaking the lighting strips sounds about right lol
Glad to see it (kinda) in better shape than I have in the past.
Yup, it's been fixed: https://www.reddit.com/r/orangecounty/comments/xj05jd/i_am_proud_to_announce_that_after_20_years
The redditor who broke the lights was tagged in the post and they even responded with some comments.
Amazing
