They are still working on it - I don't know when it will open. Shipping update - We brought the sign over to UPS day before yesterday and they weighed it (52 lbs) and quoted us $456 to ship and another $85 to pack it. I told them they were crazy. So they said they could just wrap it in cardboard to get the size down, but they couldn’t insure it and it would cost $240 to ship plus the $85 to pack it. I walked out. I called Hawaiian Airlines and explained and they put me in touch with a freight company here in Sacramento who gave me a quote of only $85.40 for the shipping with $1000 insurance - believe it or not. They put me in touch with their professional packers who will pack it in Styrofoam and heavy cardboard plus deliver it to the shipping company for $139.55.
