Live Video

In 2018 they had a big idea about lighting up the face of Mt Pleasant. There was quite a debate, it would ruin the beauty <> It will be something people come to see and will be talked about for generations. Cost a bit of $$$

*  It doesnt bother anyone, dont know it is there in the daytime and after dark, an area looks similar as it does in the day time.

*  It can only be seen for a very limited area, a fraction of the population. Because of light fall off, it is no more than a glimmer of a street light to the west of town.

Turn on the news channel when they are doing the traffic report and you can see what is going on for miles around with their traffic cameras.

Photos I took are close but do not reflect the perspective of the camera locations in this post.

Just wonder if they mounted a camera pointed at Mount Pleasant and the other to the west.

People could see when events were going on at the fair.

See what the chipmunks were doing on top. One time I came Mt P was covered with these guys.

.

And of course because the video was live, those on top could take selfies of themselves on top

Looking west people could see the city covered or watch the sunset with others that standing on top.

You can't go on top during the fireworks, but if the camera was mounted there, the fireworks and visitors could be seen by people home or any who have moved far away.

The county fair at night is beautiful .

Belonging to a high school group, classmates have moved through out the states and even other countries.

When people post pics of Mt Pleasant they light up.

I would guess Time Warner might donate the internet service.

Now integrate the visual images with a local radio station.
With generic music liked by most.. and sharing local events.
When the fireworks was the event, the music speeches, Christmas music 
With cell phones the radio station could have roving reporters 

The thought of the lights bringing visitors.. not much, but I'll bet the live view of and from Mt Pleasant would entice many to come.

I sent this message
Some years ago I emailed one of your people and they indicated something might be done Here in Lancaster we have a 'mountain' that draws people to the top to gaze at the view. 

They come from surrounding counties, states and I have met a couple from different countries Directly below we have our fairgrounds .. The park already has light poles there. 

I thought having cameras mounted at the face of the mountain and west to watch the sunsets and events at the fair ground might be of interest to them. 

I have no connection, just a guy who has been coming out for years. Guessing advertisment supports your cameras ?

 Kind of the general idea here http://www.risingpark.com/2018/03/04.html 

If the project might float and ideas of what it would take, I will pass it on to the park people 

Thanks Buddy
