Bulletin Poles

Bulletin Poles refer to the small network of little poles nestled in-between the outskirts of Davis. Much like their flatter (but topologically identical cousins), Bulletin Boards, Bulletin Poles carry a slew of information about new clubs, music events, parties, and everything else. People post everything from tutoring help to advertisements for new units on these guys.
