Last year, the Daily Progress graciously prepared a map of holiday lights, but this year it appears as though they have disappeared. We want to recreate the lights! If you know of good holiday lights, leave us an address (street numbers are much easier) and we’ll add them to the map over the next few days.

My faves: Don’t know house numbers, but the two houses on Mountain View Drive (off Monticello Rd) are great, and the whole neighborhood of Holmes Ave and Agnese St is pretty amazing.
@2 – My boys start asking after Thanksgiving, “when can we go to the crazy neighborhood?”
don’t forget that crazy family up off 29 at the Sheets turnoff!
@2, I live near there (one strand of lights on the porch, nothing to see here, move along…) and it seems as if only one of the houses is lit this year. I haven’t been by to look during the day to see if the lights are strung but not lit. Anyone else have info?
Oh, and @2, if I’d looked a little closer, I would have noted that I still cherish being driven around in the Andrew Art Van to look at lights.
@6: Rides are still available. But you gotta sign yer life away with that “driver intoxication” waiver…
Can I get a mustache ride?
@8: There’s a slightly different waiver for that.
It requires intoxication.
It requires intoxication.
And a mustache.
@7, you know I’ll sign whatever you put in front of me.
