Truth be told, I couldn't even locate either of those places on a map.....but I did find this....and the second paragraph paints quite the picture, especially after reading the "legitimate businessman" part.

>>>Large house built by the Italian American legitimate businessman Basil Vespe. Became a well known in the area for its lavish Christmas displays that decked out the entire property in lights, large hanging decorations and, in later years, live action nativity scenes and stable animals. The displays would attract drive by viewers from miles around and backed up traffic on Warwick road to such an extent that the police had to mange traffic.

Basil ultimately ended up in jail for tax evasion and other racketeering related charges, but the family soldiered on until other members ended up behind bars and Basil's eventually death forcing the compound to be sold and the Christmas events to come to an end. <<<
