Progressive Community

These are two examples of different types of infrastructure one will find in Ann Arbor. We are a progressive community and are experimenting with different methods of energy.

The wind turbine powers a light on the pole. It is difficult to see, but it is there. Not to be mistaken for the traditional light on the left.

The GIANT utility pole is a mystery to me. I have no clue as to why it is there, or what it's purpose is. What I do know is it sticks out like a sore thumb when you drive by it. It is huge and highly unattractive. Does anybody have any idea what is going on here?

The only thing I can think of that it is positioned right across the street from the new GIANT football practice area. Maybe it needs so much power to build the ugly building, that it needs hefty power lines that need the support of this strange power pole.
