I live in urban Calgary, Canada... Right in front of my house there are 2 extremely powerful sodium street lights shining down on my window and patio, so I can read my newspaper at midnight using no other source of light. 
If I get away from them I can see stars up to mag 4 or so. I need to drive at least 1 hour to get to better skies.
Regardless of what's being said, Calgary is one very light polluted city.
