I wonder if this is the right place to post this? If not, maybe
someone could steer me toward what *is*?

I've always wanted to know why all the office buildings downtown (and
elsewhere) leave their lights on 24 hours per day. I haven't time to
list all the possibilities I have thought up on my own, but if anyone
knows for sure, I'd love to hear it. I used to think the government
buildings were the only culprits (in which case, no explanations
needed: I expect them to be 30 years behind the times), but now
realize most larger buildings do it. All answers appreciated.
