It’s Christmas, Hon

Image courtesy of Rob (NOT from Baltimore, by the way)

There’s a tradition in Baltimore I’ve never experienced in person. That will change this year. I absolutely must see this for myself. Maybe I’ll even drag some grandkids along.

There’s a small set of Flickr images I found, thanks to Shannon, which will give you a brief glimpse.

You can also see the Miracle on 34th Street Flickr pool.

Or you could experience it via this little slideshow I found:
Excess on 34th Street

Either way you look at it, Baltimore’s 34th Street is the ultimate in tackiness. But it is intentional and all in good fun.

If I do get to visit, as I hope, I’ll take some pics of my own to share here.

Until then, remember… only 24 DAYS ‘TIL CHRISTMAS!
