For more than 40 years, a Brooklyn woman has brightened her East New York hallway for the holidays in an effort to create a safe and merry space for the community. HannahKliger reports.
hallway for the holidays in an effort to create a safe and merry space for the community.
"It started with little thiings on the side of the walls, and then my door - something hanging, and then it just expanded and then it just exploded, became an addiction," she told CBS2's Hannah Kliger. Neighbors say its become a hidden gem - a destination for both residents of the building and visitors who find it by word of mouth.
This year, though, there's a new challenge to overcome: Figueroa says her arthritis has gotten worse over the years and she is worried that she won't be able to put up all these decorations by herself. Still, she's hoping to enlist the efforts of local kids who grew up coming to see the hallway, to make this a community project.
