They were, confusingly, referring to 'No[v]. 17'. The prior sentence refers to a new day coming, which is 'No[v]. 18'. I have no idea why they didn't go with the accepted abbreviation of November as 'Nov'. They weren't referring to building number 17.

Just clarifying, not disagreeing with your statement :)

Perhaps because they're talking about October?

It means the #17, as in the 17th painting by Banksy, as the article says early on.

Aha, my bad. Thanks for the correction.

It makes more sense now that I think about it; I'm almost a month early for it to be Nov. 17th.
