Drive-thru Christmas

What I love about the "Way of Lights" is its 1960s feel. After taking pictures here Wednesday night I drove through White Castle in Collinsville on my way home just to make the journey complete. Christmas and dinner without even leaving your car. Now, that's America! Don't worry about gas, or electricity, or the vanishing night. Just sit back and enjoy the 1.7 million lights that line this one-and-a-half-mile drive. Crank up some Christmas music on your car radio and loosen your seatbelt--it's 1969!
