stibbons quoted America the Beautiful? by Blythe Roberson
The stars in Cisco, forty-five minutes away from the nearest town whose electrical grid consists of more than a couple extension cords, were unbelievable.

I didn't even realise it was possible to not see stars at night until I moved to New York City.
