Graybar’s demo cost $500; Musco’s cost $5000.
Wilmington’s Kenan Memorial Fountain was quite a spectacle Tuesday night as the city council huddled together at the intersection of Market Street and Fifth Avenue. The council was there to view the second of two demonstrations by lighting companies the city might hire to better illuminate the iconic fountain, which was struck by a drunken driver last year. On Tuesday, Musco Lighting representatives said they wanted to improve the safety of traffic while preserving the aesthetic beauty of the fountain.
