Oh how I wish this store would start caring about what they are doing to the environment.  They leave the lights on all night for security.  They should just install a metal frame or something in the window for evening.

So sad that this just goes on and on and they do nothing.  This photo was taken about 9:30 PM on 1 Jan 2014 when the store was closed.
