Just kidding, of course. When
I went out at 1 a.m. for our nightly (manual) weather observation, I could barely see the brightest stars of Sagittarius and the Big Dipper. Vega was fairly bright overhead, though, and Arcturus was visible to the west. Stupid light pollution. :x
At least the sky is a lot darker at home, but it's still hard to see the Milky Way, even there.
