Try Lenertz Av. in Aurora, although you may have to wait till next year.
It's a biblical-Char. Brown theme.   about 2 blocks long.  Run by the
local homeowners association.  If you want to buy a house in the assoc.
you *MUST* participate.

88W to Farnsworth South (Aurora exit)
Farnsworth to Sheffer
Right (west) on Sheffer to Sheridan St.
Left (south) in Sheridan to Lenertz Av.
Left (east) in Lenertz.

It may not start at this point, but if its still up, there *WILL* be cars.
Be sure to turn off headlights for other peoples enjoyment of the decorations.

My opinions are my own, and MOST of them don't mean a thing !
