(Associated Press) Twinkling light bulbs that give the Goshen Theater’s marquee a dramatic appearance can continue blinking thanks to a zoning board’s nod to the theater’s historic nature.

The twinkling lights wouldn’t normally be allowed, but Goshen’s Board of Zoning Appeals voted Tuesday to grant the 1907 theater a variance for its marquee.

The Elkhart Truth reports the variance allows for the display of chasing lights on the marquee’s top and bottom, in addition to flashing bulbs at its corners.

The lights attracted the city’s attention last year when the theater began replacing broken bulbs in the 857-bulb sign.
