Metro to shine 10-story Valentine in Los Angeles skyline

WHAT: Metro will cast a romantic glow on downtown Los Angeles Thursday as a 10-story heart light shines from all four sides of the Metro Headquarters building to reflect the transportation agency’s fourth annual Valentine’s Day message to the Los Angeles region. As the skyscraper sparkles in the downtown skyline, the Metro heart light will be visible throughout the region and cast a glow on traffic along three freeways – I-5, I-10 and I-101. The light display is a heart-shaped configuration of office lights and window blinds visible during the evening hours of Valentine’s Day until 10 p.m., when the building’s office lights automatically shut off for the night.

WHEN: Valentine’s Day, Thursday, Feb. 14, 2008

TIME: 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.

WHERE: Metro Headquarters, Union Station East Portal at the intersection Vignes and César Chávez in downtown Los Angeles, 90012
