Yay for Baltimore! I love taking my dog on a walk through 34th St at Christmastime :)
san antonio riverwalk
is absolutely beautiful
anytime of the year
I have friends with great spirit who call this over-the-top style "Going Griswald"! I think it's a theme that is catching on!
San Antonio Riverwalk! Last Christmas we spent 4 days staying directly on the Riverwalk and it was absolutely beautiful. I even snowed (!!) while we were there! Don't forget about Marshall, Texas - the whole town is involved!!
where do they store all that stuff?!?!
@fennpepper - I'm guessing since most of this stuff is inflatable, they can go into boxes or lie flat.
Every year I try to find that treasure trove town or neighborhood in Chicago that does it up big so we can take the kids through, but I've never found a solid place.
Anyone know of a great, well-saturated area for a holiday lights drive?

I was just talking about this w/my boss a few minutes ago - we're in Milwaukee, and there's essentially just one neighborhood we know about (dubbed "Candy Cane Lane")... I'm willing to travel to find more!
I second 34th street in Baltimore. We used to live a few blocks away and we loved taking the kids there. It is way funky and creative.
Austin's Home Street and a couple of neighboring streets have the funkiest and most interesting display I've ever seen, and I can't believe no one's mentioned it yet. I've been gone ten long years and it's STILL something I miss.
