Make it all the lights, then turn off the streetlights and stop-lights.
Downtown kept their lights, and there were patches that still had lights, but there were also long stretches where there was no power nowhere nohow.
I remember driving home from that balloon festival in town, about this time a couple years ago. It wasn't dead-of-night dark and there were lights. But I really liked the empty darkness on the streets.
It was also the first time I listened to U2's Running to Stand Still because the Lansing radio station was running a U2 special thing that Saturday since they were performing for the first time in Lansing out at MSU.
