Ha. That's pretty cool. There was, a few years ago, a wealthy family in Little Rock that got into Christmas lights bigtime. They lived on a major thoroughfare and, as I recall, the neighbors became irate at the traffic backing up to see the lights. Before it was over, I think the guy bought the house next door and started putting lights on it, too. I think there was a lawsuit over it. I don't think they do it anymore, but it seems like they lost all their money in a bankruptcy or something. But it was all over the news for several years here. Then, they branched out into putting on fireworks shows all over the place on Jul 4. Looks like these guys are just as serious about it ;)
