(roughly) match the look of the city when lit up at night.

Amazing. Nobody ever told me that!

What would we do with newsgroups to consume our time and fill our
minds with facts?

You've had a deprived life. :~(

How would you handle this:

ATC tells me "Stay west of Federal Blvd during your departure".

I response "I can't make out the street signs from up here".

Was this a rhetorical question? If ATC references the landmark, it
should be a navigation landmark, and indicated on the sectional
with a magenta flag; right?

The A/FD and Flight Guide are other good places for 'local'
information like this. When they have a documented procedure like
this, they will usually show it on the airport diagram in or both
of those books.

Not entirely.

In the case in point (several years ago), I did know the location but I
don't recall if it was on the chart and it most definitely was NOT on the
procedure chart. I wonder how many such Nav fixes are discernable to
non-locals?
