@GreenTara18, last night we watched several videos off the YouTube page I linked above and couldn't stop saying WOW!
What your city does is SO right! The wondrous displays give citizens such a joyous respite, good job opportunities for artists, technicians, and installation crews and a good source of income from tourism.
It is so very disappointing to see that American cities have lost that. I don't know when or why it started but I do know that in the past two or three decades even the largest US cities have cut down a lot on holiday decorations. Boston, for example, such lovely walkable city, is perfect for that kind of light displays.
@LCL, maybe you should show Boston's mayor those videos, who knows, he might decide to spend some of that big $urplu$ on a decent holiday light display.
