Title: Christmas Lights
Post by: W1RKW on December 18, 2007, 05:36:57 PM
I've lived in neighborhoods where the neighbors go nuts with Xmas lights.  I'm glad I don't live next to this guy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YK1O5pkDniA

After doing a little more searching, I came to find out if you drove by this guys house the sign out front (which is blurred) states that one can tune to an FM freq. and listen to the music that is coreographed to the lights or vice versa.

I think you posted a thread on this display, or one similar, back in 2005. There was some discussion, and I think we posted another link to another location with similar displays. Displays were in Canada and Ohio. Tune in to the music on your car radio and don't run anyone over as you drive by, etc. This has been here before. It was also on the TV news channels back when it was a "wow and a gee".

Pete,
If that is the case, I don't remember posting it here but you have my permission to yank the thread to keep redundancy down. I tried remove it myself but I guess I'm not allowed. Wish posters had that ability....
