"For Manhattan, a place where evening matters more than morning, that special day comes twice a year. For 2012 they fall on May 29th, and July 12th, when the setting Sun aligns precisely with the Manhattan street grid, creating a radiant glow of light across Manhattan's brick and steel canyons, simultaneously illuminating both the north and south sides of every cross street of the borough's grid. A rare and beautiful sight. These two days happen to correspond with Memorial Day and Baseball's All Star break. Future anthropologists might conclude that, via the Sun, the people who called themselves Americans worshiped [sic] War and Baseball."

It almost sounded like you were near to saying something about Manchester Soccer stampedes ...
Oddly, I was just about to post a photo of ManhattenHenge!
Glad I stopped in here first.
You're a quick one, Rune!
