The truth about Boston
Our reader Reed from the East Coast kindly alerted us to this amazing beast. It belongs to Dominic Luberto, a resident of the historic neighborhood of Jamaica Plain in Boston, MA. Luberto moved into the 1,7 Million dollar home in 2005. He has since worked hard on making his property shine brighter than an airport beacon during the Holiday season. According to a news story on the radio station WBUR, this year he increased the number of light bulbs to 500,000.
Special features:
- a Christmas tree-like illumination colored like the US flag
- weird inflatable dolls
- a 10 foot high, 650 pound gold-colored crown on top of the house (which scares other residents shitless, because they are worried it might blow off in a windstorm)
This photo contest is on the hunt for the most insane Christmas lights display in the world. Entries welcome – contest ends Christmas Eve!

I live in Boston, have seen the house many times, and agree it’s ridiculous not to mention causes dangerous traffic problems. But my question is what truth about Boston does this show? Just curious.

Rob, it shows that Boston could win this photo contest. Which, in case it happens, would definitely be the truth.
