Illtop Ek House

One of the great public sculptures of Massachusetts is the 68-foot-tall neon cactus that advertises the Hilltop Steak House on Route 1 in Saugus. So what's the deal with letting its lights blink out? Isn't there some sort of landmarks commission that should be policing the stewardship of this masterpiece?
