Night sky had the Milky Way. Same place now, can probably only see a hundred stars total.
So much light pollution. I grew up without mountains and now live somewhere with mountains. Miss that wide open sky. Day and night.
You might still see it in the desert.
High desert mountains are, or were, a great place to see the Milky Way. You had the mountains and the openness. It's been a few years or 20 for me, though. No idea if those places are still dark enough.
