Mooser's memory of "the way it used to be":One image indelible for me is the view at Christmas time from where I waited countless nights for city transit before becoming a licensed driver. Long since renamed Martian Luther King Blvd, it was then High Street, and against the darkened sky it gapped the black horizon to the North as a "V", perfectly framing the Capitol dome which was annually illuminated in blue from Thanksgiving until New Year's day. To me at the time that view only heightened my sense of the season being magical .
