McAdenville's annual Christmastown USA is up and running again this year. The Charlotte area Christmas light extravaganza started Monday and is worth checking out, especially if you haven't seen it before. I went last year for the first time and it was a very cool experience. I drove in heading west on I-85 to exit 22. That was extremely crowded, so I continued on I-85 to exit 21. I took Cox Road to Franklin Blvd/Andrew Jackson Highway/74 and then took the back way in. That seemed to work much better. There weren't any designated parking spots that I found. It's more of a 'take what you can get' kind of thing. If you find a spot on a residential side road, take it. Town officials do remind visitors not to block railroad crossings or prevent the flow of traffic though. There isn't necessarily a route people follow. You basically follow the lights. Follow the cars and follow the lights.
No politics here, folks. Just sports, movies, music, comics, and the occasional randomness. If you have a blog too, let me know about it! It'll give me some reading material.
