As a Michigan kid, I absolutely loved it being still light at 9:30pm in the summer.

4:15pm sunsets in December here get me bummed but I've gotten used to it.

As a Massachusetts kid, that 4:15 sunset for you was at 3:15 for us. Got to watch it on the school bus on my way home each day.

The 4:15 sunsets I’m referring to are in MA. Sun doesn’t set before 5pm in most of Michigan. I’ve never seen a sunset before 4 in MA.

Ah, I misunderstood you-thought you were talking about growing up in Michigan and seeing 4:15 sunsets there. Maybe I’m remembering the end time of school, but there were definitely rides home where the school bus had to turn their lights on.
