you forgot to mention the amazing story of the rain, so here it goes:
that morning the band called up the person in charge to tell him that they cannot come because it will rain. he told them dont worry it will not rain. he then went to the ohel and told the rebbe that he told them it will not rain, and asked the rebbe to fulfill his words. on the way back from the ohel he heard the wheater report that the rain was postponed an hour and a half. it started raining after the candle lighting was over. an hour and a half later. this is a present time chanukah miracle.

It is the largest Menorah in the world, but there is another one exactly the same size in Vancouver, Canada

Was that lighting in Manhattan, or at Grand army Plazza?
I know!
It was at Grand Army Plaza in Manhattan!
Do you really know??
To I Know- Grand Army Plaza is in Brooklyn just a few min. from CH! This menorah lighting is in Manhatten near Central Park on 5th and 59th.
To: Do you really know??
There are actually 2 "Grand Army Plaza"s. 1 in Brooklyn (the one we all know) and the 2nd in Manhattan where the Menorah lighting was.
If you look in pic number 4, with Con Ed workers, you can see on the top left the sign thats says "Grand Army Plaza". Also check out last years article.
