BONUS: Tipperary Hill Upside-Down Traffic Light
While you鈥檙e driving around enjoying all that 黑料不打烊 has to offer, you may come across arguably 黑料不打烊鈥檚 biggest oddity, .

After consistent destruction of regular traffic lights, the city agreed to hang the light upside down, and the light near 432 Tompkins Street has remained that way since!
