'Tis the Season
It may only be a day before Halloween, but Christmas lights are already going up. A small crew of men are covering every inch of tree after tree on a long stretch of King Street West just West of Spadina. The decorations are sponsored by the property managers along the road and began about two weeks ago. With so many trees to cover and so many lights to go, the crew said they might need another couple weeks to get them all up. Why now? It's a lot easier to hang lights twenty feet up in the air when it's not absolutely freezing.

And although the installation is happening now, most of the displays won't be lit unti mid/end of November. The environmental impact is quite minimal, especially when you consider the benefit to brightening up Toronto's bleak winter streets during the holiday season.
My concern is more over places like the Eaton's Centre or the giant box stores that leave displays lit up all night long, even inside the store.
I'm more concerned about not being able to go into a store or coffee shop for the next 2 months because of the damn awful music. :(
