So what happend here? Last Tuesday I was coming home from Galveston, and as it was dark, I decided to take a detour and come up 59 from the Beltway. Why? I thought it would be neat to see the searchlight atop Williams Tower sweeping across the sky. I've seen it in person once before, and I wanted to see it again! I think it's cool!

As I was approaching 610 (just before 9 PM), I noticed something, darkness. There was no searchlight in front of me! The rest of Williams Tower was lit up, but the beacon was not. It was kind of sad really, that light is unique to Houston, and it was missing. Did the 7,000 watt bulb burn out or something??
