'When Chrysler moved out, things started to happen,' says Highland Park councilman
HIGHLAND PARK, Mich. — As the sun dips below the rooftops each evening, parts of this Detroit enclave turn to pitch black, the only illumination coming from a few streetlights at the end of the block or from glowing yellow yard globes.
It wasn't always this way. But when the debt-ridden community could no longer afford its monthly electric bill, elected officials not only turned off 1,000 streetlights. They had them ripped out — bulbs, poles and all. Now nightfall cloaks most neighborhoods in inky darkness.

I would rather have a colonoscopy than ever visit a Detroit suburb,with or without streetlights.
The future of Salisbury if Ireton and his Democrat progressive commies get their way.
Hence the term "The dark side of town"
SHA is doing the same, over the last week they have begun a project that removes 1/3 of the light on the US-50 bridge over the Nanticoke River in Vienna.
