I got a chance to visit Christmas in Midtown this weekend. The lights are amazing. You could hear people audibly gasp as they walked in.
I have to agree with those who mentioned the music. While I love the lights, the modern, pop Christmas music 1) doesn't fit in with SDC, and 2) is way too loud. The music is so loud that it distracts from the lights. Plus, if you stand in the right places, you hear the music from the square and the music in Midtown at the same time...sensory overload!! That being said, it's a great addition and adds new life to the Midtown area.
Speaking of Midtown, Sullivan's Mill has basically been converted to a Cinnamon Bread store. A lot of the inventory is gone.
