No Trail of Lights
With the budget crunch casting a shadow over the city's biggest holiday season celebration, the decision was simple: a) Have a Trail of Lights (complete with massive electricity bill) at Zilker Park and charge up to $5 a head; b) no Trail of Lights, make whatever is organized free.
