  Speaker 3: So in Clifton, Cubby, there's a dentist, Dr. Wayne Ganji,
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: who's really like famous in our area. And, you know,
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: people are getting to know him even outside the area
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: because he puts up these huge Halloween displays. Like he
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: has a million mannequins. He dresses them up. He does
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: a lot of scary stuff with effects. And people like it.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: I feel like every town has one of those houses.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Where it's just really cool, really overdone. But, yeah, most
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: people enjoy it.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: This guy's over the top. And it's been like this
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: seriously for like 25 years. Yeah, 25 years he's been
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: doing this. Well, this year the city of Clifton was like, uh-oh, sorry, no.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: You're going across like the grassy area that's public property.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: That's not really your property, no, like across the sidewalk.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: He's not supposed to put stuff there. He put up
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: some corn stalks and stuff. And they flagged safety concerns
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: regarding extension cords and lights. And Clifton City Manager Gary
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: DiMarzo said the city must enforce its ordinances fairly and
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: consistently for public safety. So they're kind of like, I'm sorry,
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: we have to. We have to find you. We have
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: to tell you this. So Dr. Ganji's response was, after
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: all of these complaints, I'm taking it down and I
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: am returning 3,000 Costco candy bars. that we're supposed to
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: go to trick-or-treaters because I also have to pay a fine.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Wow. So he's putting his foot down. If you don't
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: want it, you're not going to get it.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: So, like, you know, it's kind of mixed in the neighborhood.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Some people are happy that it's going away. Right. And
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: some people are saying, no.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: No.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: Don't do it.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: And Costco's probably going to be like, no, because he's
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: returning 3,000 Costco candy bars.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Now, is he being a little passive-aggressive by saying that? Like, oh,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: just take all these candy bars I was going to
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: give to the kids.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Well, that's it.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: You know, I think he's serious because he is getting
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: fined for this. And right. And he says he's got
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: to cover the fine. I don't know.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Also, people were saying how it brings a lot of
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: traffic in the neighborhood and they don't like it, but
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: it's pretty split though.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Again, there's people that say, I love it every year. Right.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: People got engaged there before.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: And it's a really, we've seen the video. It's a
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: really nice setup.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Oh, I've driven past it a million times. Yeah. I
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: live near there. So I've seen it. It's, dense like
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: and so every little bit of his property is taken
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: up so i i guess he spilled over.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: A little and well you know what in just 10
• 2:39
