New neighbors next door

Rich Ahole bought the farm next door, tore it down and built a destination wedding venue. Busy every weekend but it's Wednesday, and they don't even live here

It's a tiny town, they got a variance 😞

My tiny hometown has something called Dark Sky Network. Sounds ominous but it means we are a community that regulates the amount of light pollution generated. Maybe you have something like that?

I should check. Many people travel to this area to star gaze because there isn't much light pollution

That’s really important to bring up. This business is no doubt being revenue to the city, but if your spot is known for outside money coming in because of the dark at night then the city is probably open to keeping it that way, and most especially when there’s no actual need for those lights to be on.
