This random light pole caught my eye, because it was listed as property of Vepco, which is the long-gone name/predecessor of Virginia's Dominion Energy.

Looking closer, the Vepco sign made sense, the pole was apparently manufactured in 1978. Seems like a long life for a pole. A (cool) surviving monument to Virginia Beach 1.0's Vepco days. I'm curious, if someone who does street light work, etc knows: do light poles typically last this long (45 years and counting)?
