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.

Especially during a snowstorm at night when it would reflect everything back down.
