The Porch Light is On



I enjoy my early morning walk every day, even during the short days of winter.  Having lived in Loveland most of my life, I often reminisce about the history of the city.  Seeing all the porch and yard lights on in my neighborhood reminded me of one of Loveland’s unique, neighborly qualities:  In 1935, the city began using unmetered porch and yard lights to provide lighting to most of the residential streets.  “Like magic, residential post/porch lights, also called porch/yard lights, turn on at dusk and off at dawn in most Loveland neighborhoods.” (http://www.ci.loveland.co.us/index.aspx?page=765)  Since August, 1997, the required street lighting is paid by homeowners and developers.

It’s fun to be reminded of these trivial tidbits of our town … just one of many things that make Loveland a wonderful place to live.
