Franklin Road 2023

Just a couple of shots from this year’s Christmas lights on Franklin Road. We’ve been there before, and again and actually last year too.

This year the (volunteer) organizers were in the news railing against the influx of vendors selling light-up balloons and twirling ropes and stuff.

It worked, and the atmosphere seemed much more relaxed than last time, less like a state fair midway. There were carolers and even a brass band, and we saw several householders in their yards enjoying the sight of all the people admiring the decorations.
