The old section had overall less lights than the new section the light displays and decorations were great nonetheless.
The entire length on Noel avenue by far was the best, specifically close to the corner of Bartlett, just the shear number of decorations was amazing. Ira Ct was very interesting too for their dead end display.
Although I didn’t drive up and down I have no idea how people live with their cars bottoming out on blocks like abbey and frank. On top of that, the pooling of water and ice was absolutely horrendous which was inches thick everywhere.
