Someone noticed that their city's most phallic building went dark every night at midnight. So they started posting videos. Now? People are coming into town to watch the lights go out.
Also in the comments of that first viral video from May this year: people calling out the obvious crossover potential of this account with the lights turning off kid. It'll be like when Kareem from Subway Takes recently was on A View From a Bridge (https://www.instagram.com/p/DKPX45VImpf/), garnering comments like "This is the 2025 version of when 2 of your favourite TV shows do a crossover episode," and "my subway hot take is that im fucking sobbing rn." Can't wait.
The “official” response from the account makes this even better.
Great stuff 💪
I guess the Salem Schlong lost the alliteration contest...

This is a national program that several NC cities participate in.
Would make a great story on its own . Let me know if you need good people to interview.
Great job!
