Would The Last One Out...

Please Turn Off The Lights.

Taken from a vintage ad campaign for the city of Seattle decades ago, the project adapted the slogan "Would the last one out, please turn off the lights."
At approximately 2:45 pm Pacific time on Thursday April 7th, 2022, the last song was heard on Neo RetroFM (Olympia WA). The song was "Mexican Moon" by Concrete Blonde.
