Lights out in downtown now?

[MichMatters]

I was just about to say that it most likely has to do with the weather, but daveinwindsor never misses a point [[regardless of how bad it was, and in this case it was terrible because this is so easy to explain) to badmouth the city. Snow and fog obscuring the skyline? What a perfect front to pretend that downtown must have completely emptied out and all the lights were turned out within a few hours! How ridiculous is this? lol

Well, I hope you're right. But, it wasn't snowing at 8pm across the river. The buildings were pretty clear as I saw the GM logo lighted and the traffic lights and street lights on. The window lights were out on the highrises.

I can guarantee you that the snowstorm was still over Downtown Detroit at 8 pm.... I was walking through it on my way to a friend's house.

I also think that a lot of businesses are thinking more "green" when it comes to energy consumption and are making sure office lights are turned off after the building clears out. In the past, buildings/companies may have been more lax about leaving office lights on during periods of non-use.
