Boston was so polluted with traffic smog only a couple of the brightest stars were ever visible and only when a front had come through and swept most of the gunk out to sea. I also lived in cities growing up, so it was not only too late, it was also too smoggy when I was a kid.

Even with coal furnaces a thing of the past, nothing much is visible.
