37th Street RIP

So after the party last night we drove down Guadalupe and I wanted to look down 37th street to see if the lights were up. Last year was so lame and sad. Most of the Christmas light people with the Christmas spirit have moved away. Wm decided to drive down the street and it was nearly empty, not many lights up at all. It was only 8pm so it's not like some could have been turned off. In fact the displays and lights on the houses in my hood are way more impressive and festive this year.

The video for Christmas Lights was done in 2004 and there was quite a bit of foot traffic that night. It was the 14th of December, a Sunday, and the place was packed. I think that was the last year the street was really lit up. Maybe one day, a fun group of people will move in again and turn the place on. Not at all what it used to be.
