I just took another look at the stills we took at Pete Specos house on Sunday.  Here they are but they don’t do it justice.  Take a ride down the 4200 block of Orchard Street to see it in person and with music too.

Pete Specos clearly has the best display in Frankford this year.  You should not miss the opportunity to take a ride down the 4200 block of Orchard Street to check it out.  The video below does not do it justice.

A tip of the hat to George H. W. Bush who is looking better and better as time passes.

The lights in question though are Christmas lights.  Since we have been taking pictures of the Christmas lights for the last three years we have pretty much covered ever nook and cranny of the neighborhood.  So this year, we are going to try something different.  We’ll shoot for quality rather then quality.  Our aim is to present a video of the best displays we can find that we would like to do by about December 16th.  So if you know somebody who goes out of their mind decorating, email the tip address and we’ll send out the video crew for a look.

We have been touring Frankford for the last few nights and I have to admit I was surprised on a few streets.  On some, it was completely dark and yet on others it looked like Broadway.  I think the best lights on a single block were on the 5000 block of Duffield.  Close to that was the 1600 block of Haworth.  The most extensive decoration on a single property was down on Orchard Street.  That place deserves a video.  The slide show is below.  Here is the flickr album.

Christmas Lights are already lighting up the streets of Frankford and we will be roaming around this year documenting the scene.  We had thought about doing video but the stills just work better.  So if you would like to be included this year, email us at tips@frankfordgazette.com and we’ll be sure to get to you.
