Hell freezes over. Twenty-five years ago,
the Blizzard of ’78 paralyzed Kenmore Square —

nightclub Lucifer, later Narcissus, is the site of the
future Barnes & Noble at Boston University. Photograph

When automobile traffic on Commonwealth
Avenue resumed six days after the blizzard, travel
on the B line still required skis. Photograph by Ken
