When I died to this world, at the age of sixteen, I never looked on a daylighted street again, not in Florence or anywhere.

Most of daylighted Venema Creek is within Carkeek Park.

There were passengers wandering everywhere-mostly quite old men and women dressed in scant beach clothing, many of whom were gathered in the quiet daylighted lounge below.

The historic headwaters of the stream originate in the Tenleytown area in Northwest Washington, however at present the section of the stream north of Massachusetts Avenue is hydrologically separated from the lower section and runs through a large stormwater pipe under the daylighted portion.
