On DC Path: Look up and see light
No, this is not a re-enactment of a scene from War of the Worlds, the one where Tom Cruise and his kid hide in a ruined building and the alien war machine’s tentacle reaches in but somehow misses them. It is, instead, one of the new lighting fixtures on Albany’s Dave Clark Path.
