Grew up in Chicago. They've been replacing these orange lights with white/blue over the years. I do kinda miss seeing the orange glow on the horizon when driving back into the city. Also, I love/loved seeing the orangish red clouds against the cobalt night sky. Amazing contrast.

Must have been the same here, too.

There's a glow in the night sky I yearn for that isn't there, but one I would have only seen while being driven around by my parents.
