Last night, It was my first time attending Candy Cane Lane and man I was such in disbelief. Not because of the lights and how it looked but that there was not any police presence. Traffic was so bad. Cars were blocking intersections and cross walks. I couldn’t believe there weren’t any police to control traffic and help traffic move a little faster. It took us about half an hour to turn onto Peach from Alluvial. Pedestrians were also walking in front of moving cars and acting like there were cross walks everywhere. I never went to Candy Cane Lane but wonder why there aren’t strictly driving only nights or walking only nights. It was horrible and I was shocked that there weren’t any police in the area for safety. Imagine if there were a mass shooting or if some mad person decided to use their vehicle as a weapon.

Read moreI absolutely love candy cane have gone every year since my daughter was 6. She is now 12! This year was absolutely the worst! We waited in line for over 2 hours!

There are no sidewalks, so you walk alongside the road, which is lined with orange cones as a parking deterrent. The house on the corner was selling dollar store glow sticks for $5 each. Anything to make a buck, right? Bring your own light necklaces and glow stick jewelry so your kids don't cry about wanting a glow stick. Bring a thermos with hot coco and some snacks, too! It's really dark if you park out on the streets, so bring a bright flashlight. As far as I know, there are no restrooms for use. Definitely nowhere but your car to change a diaper. Overall, it was crowded and noisy. Better than the ghetto christmas tree lane with tamale 🫔 vendors wheeling ice...
