Christmas decorations in Cloverdale partially down

I was surprised last week that some of the Christmas decorations on 176th Street in downtown Cloverdale have gone. Namely the 2 red light banners with the stars on both ends at 58th Avenue and 56A Avenue. Also the flag banners of the stars have been replaced by the Cloverdale themed flags. The wreaths in Hawthorne Square are gone.

So they're getting to it a lot faster than last year when the Christmas decorations stayed up until April when a film crew was shooting some scenes and the city had to finally get them down.

The lights are still up on the Christmas trees. That would be the multicolored lights on the trees near the ambulance station on 58A Avenue and the white lights on the trees on 176th Street. Actually the white lights don't look so bad. Several cities have similar lights up year round.
