Modesto Arch
The Modesto Arch is a centennial slogan arch, built in 1912,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.historicmodesto.com/thearch.html )〕〔 to welcome automobile drivers to Modesto, California where it currently stands at the intersection of 9th and I Streets. The arch bears the city's motto, "Water, Wealth, Contentment, Health", illuminated by 696 incandescent lightbulbs.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.modbee.com/2012/02/22/2081656/effort-under-way-to-refurbish.html )
The original first-place slogan was "Nobody's Got Modesto's Goat", which was later rejected, and the second-place slogan was used instead. The arch once bore two flagpoles on each of its columns until they were removed due to rot. Presently, two Mediterranean cypress trees stand behind the columns, which contribute to the illusion of the original flagpoles' height and location. In 1934, the arch was moved a little bit to the southwest to make way for the expansion of 9th Street.
In February 2012, a project was planned to restore the arch to its original appearance with the change of lightbulbs, repainting of original color, patching minor cracks on the columns, and the replacement of the flagpoles.〔
