Yesterday I noticed the beginnings of Christmas decorations going up in Hawthorne Square in Cloverdale. That's on 176th Street, halfway between 58th and 57th Avenues.
Today I saw a man up a ladder putting more decorations up. So far its mostly wreaths and greenery. No Christmas lights up yet.
I remember last year the Christmas lights went up before Halloween and the day they put them up was very blustery. Nasty rain and wind. These past couple of days have been a cold wind but the rain is holding off. Its cold enough that the weather forecast is for wet flurries overnight and into tomorrow morning. I doubt they'll get the Christmas decorations up today. Then need a cherry picker for the string that goes across each end of 176th Street and for the tall trees just north of the main street.
All this in preparation for the Santa Parade of Lights which this year will be held on Sunday December 4 2011.
