East Hiram Street in Atlanta has never had such huge pine cones hanging from its streetlamp posts.

That’s Brian Adcock, owner of Santa Beacon’s holiday lighting business, who is hanging a double tree ornament on the East Main lamp post.

A bonus of holiday night lights at the veterans’ plaza is that the military monuments and benches reflect the lights.A moment’s pause is engendered for each black granite insignia.

Here’s the place to stop, sit and have your picture taken. There will be no better spot. It’s all part of the veterans’ plaza lighting for the holidays.

The “ring” ornament at the Woods Park on East Hiram is enchanting, either by day or nighttime. Miranda Johnson has taken a moment to make a memorable picture of Reed, her eight year old son.

Hiram Street in Atlanta has rarely been so crowded at 4 in the afternoon as it was this last Friday. It looks as if the table shown is down to just a few candy treats still available.

Don’t know about you but this was enough to keep this photographer in hiding this past Halloween. Certainly, he wouldn’t get out by himself on the Atlanta streets — which are understandably empty.

There are seven children in this picture. Each of whom seems to be ready for something. The business store, Terri’s Treasures, has an equally attractive window to show the crowd.
