Alex Du is Vietnamese and was raised Buddhist. So how in the heck did the 45-year old real estate investor end up becoming the de facto ringleader for one of Philadelphia’s most iconic Christmastime traditions? Each year, during the winter holiday season, the 1600 block of South 13th Street, where Alex and his family have lived for decades, turns into an electric and eclectic display of seasonal cheer. Lights are everywhere - suspended in air across the street from house to house, along rooflines, wrapped around trees and lampposts. Join Brian Seltzer as he heads to the annual Miracle on South 13th Street kick-off block party to talk to Alex and his neighbors about the origins of this spectacle, and how the South Philadelphia community has kept it going.
