SACRAMENTO, California: TikToker Logan Ivey creates playful videos that often feature the quirks of living in Sacramento, but one of his lighthearted videos centered on the city received serious attention.

On Aug 22, Ivey posted a video documenting the derelict state of several broken or missing street lamps in the city of Sacramento. In his video, which has been viewed 1.1 million times, Ivey first notes that an orange cone has covered the remains of a broken street lamp on 14th and O streets for the 193 days since it fell on Super Bowl Sunday.
