Where are the really cool Halloween-decorated yards around here?

I like to do night-time drive-bys.
A few I’ve seen: Off East Avenue and River Road in Loves Park. This inflatable organ plays sends creepy music so far that you can hear it from the slides at Martin Park.
Another one is also off East Avenue, practically across the street from the Northwoods Grill & Bar at Riverside Boulevard in Loves Park. The graveyard atmosphere there is enough to make you look over your shoulder more than once to make sure no ghosts are following you.
We’ve been asking you to send us photos of decorated yards and folks in costumes. So far, I’m seeing mostly costumed kids, and they are cute. But let’s get spooky with it.

I drive by several on my way to Boylan every day! There is one on River Rd - near Walker Ave — creepiest clown ghost you’ve ever seen! There is also another on Huffman just south of Riverside — lots of fun yard displays (like the Homer Simpson Dracula!) Another one is just south of Fulton on Cumberland just west of the river near Auburn. Fun little displays — some people really go all out! I have one pumpkin (fake) stuck in a pot! That is fine by me.

Actually, it’s River Lane, not River Road.

Thnx Geo for the recognition nothing is more fun than Halloween for my wife and I. We hope it puts smiles on everyone face every year. And if you get a chance drive by again today is the day it gets it finishing touches HAPPY HALLOWEEN
