Street of Candlelight Pops Up Again on Christmas Eve

A residential court in Walnut Creek once again lines the sidewalk with paper bags and candles

As it does every Christmas Eve, Rockcreek Court in Walnut Creek became an avenue of lights.

As night fell Monday, residents on the short street off Walnut Avenue placed paper bags with lighted candles inside along the entire sidewalk of their neighborhood.

More than 100 lighted bags glowed for drivers and pedestrians to see as they went by the quiet court.

The tradition has been going on for years.

I hate sand in parks. Nice breeding area for lice, and a great place for ferrel cats to poop. IRead More can't wait for them to do the park at Arbolado.

How about you research the current ADA guidelines regarding surface materials for play areas?Read More Walnut Creek is simply acting to be in compliance. Not sure where you get the idea that wood chips are "much more dangerous". A reasonable overview of the current regulations can be found here: http://risk.utah.gov/newsletter/documents/playground_surfacing.pdf If you disagree with the regulations, please contact your representatives.
