It seems as if when it comes to a dollar or a nice night sky the dollar wins every time,even if it's only worth a quarter any more.They could actually save money and get better lighting with sodium vapor lights but I guess their not as pretty as the eye burning bright lights used in most parking lots.Eventually will have to take a mid oceanic cruise just to see stars.Maybe not so much anymore. Fracking companies have set up shop nearby, and have been pumping massive amounts of light into the sky.
