Light Up Lakewood Event Reminder

Hello All Ã¢â‚¬â€œ

November 30, 6-8 p.m. Ã¢â‚¬â€œ According to http://www.lightuplakewood.com/
Detroit Avenue, from Marlowe to Arthur, will be closed to traffic for tonightÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s festivities.

Interested folks can go to that Website for all the details and/or read the excellent article in the November 13 Lakewood Observer written by Jennifer Raynor Ã¢â‚¬â€œ http://lakewoodobserver.com/read/news/o ... p-lakewood

I thank everyone involved in advance for making this possible. (I have nothing to do with organizing the event but just thought a reminder would be helpful.)

I look forward to it, but who's in charge of turning on the heat for the evening? We don't need to heat all of Lakewood...just Detroit Ave. between Andrews & Marlowe. So it shouldn't cost that much

Dee,

We have your heat here at Rozi's--in liquid form. Works best from the inside out.

I hope everyone had fun tonight. Unfortunately my house is full of sick people, so we missed it. The kids were disappointed, they have been looking forward to it for the last few weeks. Hopefully next year.

John,

I too am confused. This year seems to have a deficit of city lights (not merchant lights...they have been great). In addition to the lack of lights at Lakewood Park, why are the Madison snowflake lights on Detroit and what happened to the lights that are typically on Detroit? In addition to the wreaths or trees, last year I recall they added a lighting display that spanned the roadway. Does anyone know if the cutbacks in public lighting displays are related to budget concerns or is something else at play?

Just curious. And I love the blue lights over the sidewalk around Phoenix and Lion and Blue.

Kate and John

I know the Swags that hung across the street that were introduced last year were not put up because of problems with them bending CEI light poles. This is part of a new "no banner" approach by city hall.

It seems that CEI got pretty mad last year. They wanted them down before Christmas, Tony Beno lobbied and got them to stay up until the day after Christmas. At the time the city was going to look at installing their own poles for the swags.

As for the missing lights from Lakewood Park, I have no idea.

Thanks Jim!

Has anyone noticed how well Jim did hanging the city's holiday lights in his backyard this year? I think this is much better than last year's efforts.
