Everything's so flashy.
Like I saw Venus this evening and could compare it to an airplane which was pointing it's headlights not quite in my direction. It was way brighter than Venus, maybe -9 or something, who knows, and yellower. So if they ever had a supernova then it might look like that.
Venus is more comparable to one of the numerous bulbs they put on skyscrapers than the brightest planet.
Does it look better in the country?

It looks brilliant away from city lights. When you have a clear sky where you can see all of the stars, Venus outshines all of them. Unfortunately, Venus is only usually seen in twilight, when you can't compare it to the stars. It is still very bright and neat to look at anyway.

Yes, everything is better in the country... hehe
Actually, if you are looking at celestial bodies, it is much more impressive in a rural area where there are no city lights to ruin your view. Watching stars, on a pitch black night, out in the middle of the sage brush, in Elko Nevada is spectacular.
