Miracle on 34th Street in Hampden

One block in Hampden puts on a that is surely visible from space. Neighbors in this block of rowhouses sure know how to . They string Christmas lights from one end of 34th Street in Hampden to another. Inflatable snowglobes, musical trains and blinking angels adorn homes. A few even allow visitors to peek inside.

For 2007, the big switch flip is Saturday, Nov. 24, at 6:30 p.m. The lights stay up until January. Most nights they are lit from dusk to 11 p.m. But they shine all night Christmas Eve. This New Year's Eve look for a Time Square-style ball drop.
