Good neighborhood Christmas light displays?
Judy emails:
My kids LOVE Christmas lights. The oohs and ahhs from the backseat this time of year makes driving at night a fun adventure, but there's just one problem - we're getting used to our usual streets! Do your readers know of any local neighborhoods that really put on a show (and don't mind a little extra traffic, of course)?
We also got this question from @touchofgr3y.
The first place that springs to mind is Apple Blossom Lane in Colonie -- here's video by Christen Gowan from last year's decorations.
There have to be others. Know of one (or more)? Please share!
(And thanks to Katie at Capital District Fun for doing a little asking around on this one!)

There's some really nice ones down some of the side streets of off Van wee Terrace Colonie NY. Here's a map...

There's a street in Watervliet that's been putting on a great show for years. Sadly I'm not sure of the street but it runs east-west and since the city's not huge you'd be able to find it from Route 32. Good luck and have fun!

I really appreciate this information. I'd encourage more folks to include their favorites here. There's so much more to see and those of us who enjoy a "lights tour" would really benefit from the information.
Happy Holidays.
