Have you seen "West"? It's a rotating sculpture at the end of Mill Street Pier in the Bridge District. This kinetic art piece (art that depends on motion for its effects) was created by Janet Zweig. The numbered steel bands on the pilings surrounding the pier serve as a measuring tool for the Sacramento River levels. AND the piece also lights up at night!

Top Halloween Fire Safety Tips: * Use a battery-operated candle or glow stick in jack-o-lanterns. * When choosing costumes, stay away from long trailing fabric.... * Teach children to stay away from open flames, including jack-o-lanterns with candles in them. * Dried flowers, cornstalks, and crepe paper catch fire easily. Keep all decorations away from open flames and other heat sources like light bulbs and heaters. * Remember to keep exits clear of decorations so nothing blocks escape routes. Make sure all smoke alarms are working. #westsacfire #FireSafetyTips #nfpa #halloweenfiresafety
