The city I live in is in the process of rebuilding, basically, the entire city! Streets, freeways, buildings, bridges, parks, utilities, etc. During this, the local utility company bought three of the bridges from the city and fitted them with new lighting:

This happens every night...
The lights on the bridges changes color constantly. They sometimes fade from side to side in differing colors, or they will have "blocks" of colors such that there is a red section 50 ft long, then a green one 50 ft long, then a blue one... and they slide down the bridge together... Sometimes, during outdoor concerts in the River Market, they will use the bridges as a light show to the music!
On Christmas, some of the high-rises in Downtown will have lights on them to look like Christmas Trees.
This made me want to know what other cities have unique lighting or what others think of Little Rock's lights.
So, have any of you ever visited Little Rock and seen these lights? What do you think of it?
Also, how does your city look at night?

This is what we call "Light noise" where it blocks people to view stars ...

Re: Big City Lights!
If you want stars, just go out to Roland, Vilonia, England, Hot Springs Village, Alexander, Landmark, East End, Natural Steps, Mayflower, Lonoke, or Maumell. All are within 20 minutes of Downtown Little Rock, with most being 5-10 minutes away...
That being said, Arkansas is the "Natural State" so stars and trees are visible from almost everywhere, even in the middle of most cities.
I imagine that your city has no night lighting? Roland, Natural Steps, and Monte Springs is like that. No lights at night. Not even streetlights, or gas pump lights...

Re: Big City Lights!
Hopefully, when SCS gets to Arkansas, they will add it. I 30/I40 junction is in this area (that last image is actually from I30) and if that isn't going to be added, something's wrong!
Re: Big City Lights!
Charlotte has some cool lighting. They change the colors according to events, seasons, holidays, etc. So the main buildings will be Panthers colors when they are playing, or red, white, and blue during the 4th, etc. It's really cool.
