Another cover of a post from last year

of Clearview Park and Golf Club (originally the Clearview Golf and Yacht Club)

of another krazy Kristmas display. The guy who built this one said he's been doing it for 17 years now, and the spectacle gets a little bigger each time. In fact, he's already got new stuff waiting in the wings for next year.

Check out this video to see the house at night in all its blinding brilliance.

Last year's edition of this post was quite tame in comparison. Almost all the lawns on this side of the block were equally full of party popper entrails, and, with the help of the wind, some of the confetti had migrated into yards as far as two blocks away. It was unclear if the papery explosion was the work of a single rogue party animal or if several neighboring revelers had joined in the fracas.

That was my first (excited) thought when I saw this construction going on at the Whitestone Bridge. There were originally pedestrian walkways on the bridge, but they were removed after a few years to accommodate more vehicular traffic. Could they be making a comeback?

No, sadly. This project is just going to widen and add shoulders to the approach roadway. On the plus side, however, the MTA has posted some cool shots of the new concrete piers being built.

A classic combination!

I wonder if the newer-looking wood is from a Sandy-downed tree.
