Where do we go to see neighborhood Christmas lights in Mobile, AL and metro Atlanta?

We're going to be spending time over Christmas in both Mobile, AL and metro Atlanta and would like to drive through super-lit (starlight) neighborhoods.

We're aware of Life University, Lake Lanier and Bellingrath Gardens, but we're interested in neighborhoods (free) too. Can anyone recommend some places or a website that has detailed information?

Mobile: If memory serves, Bellingrath Gardens lights up quite nicely for Christmas, although I don't think it's free anymore. There's also a neighborhood or two out there that have beautiful old houses and good light displays. It's been a few years, though, so YMMV.

Siena Vista is a midtown Mobile street/neighborhood famous for having a tradition of extravagant Christmas displays. I grew up in Mobile, and my family used to go walking there every year.
