The Last Days of Night
Graham Moore
I had the same experience a few years ago while reading a The Last Days of Night book. It also traveled to Philadelphia and one of the reasons it got funded was New Yorkers didn’t want to lose it. Another reason was individual donors got their names printed in the paper. https://twitter.com/richarderoeper/status/1484327144184422404
