[GT] Halloween night 2017!

[Mr.Coffee]

We didn't have too many, but about 5 minutes ago we had 2, a "boy" and a "girl". They were about 5'8" give or take an inch. I kinda chuckled at the ridiculousness and gave them some candy since we have lots left.

About 30 seconds later I walked out to my car to get something from it in front of my house and I see these "kids" get in their own car across the street, turn the ignition and drive away. Pretty hilarious overall.

Advanced stats include:
16 from visible minorities - mostly young
4 kids said no to extra candy - who does that!?
1 kid in a wheelchair - mom ran up the stairs
1 reverse trick or treat

What is a reverse trick or treat? Did the kid come to your door and give you candy?

[Frequitude]

1 in Elbow Park...

On a side note, a total of two kids in Point Mckay...the door rang and I almost forgot what it was for.

Off topic but we are interested on moving to Point Mckay. Anything you can tell me?

14 kids at our place in Rosscarrock. Up from 6 last year.

High quality dark chocolate to boot!

It was to promote the purchase of fair trade chocolate in the future.

I guess it worked because I brought it up.

[AC]

59 in Woodbine. Exact same number as last year which is surprising given the rain.

[#-3]

probably about 90 in Evanston, but might have been busier in other areas of the community, we are still about 2-3 years away from having all of the surrounding streets developed and occupied.

[You Need a Thneed]

35 final for us. Had a couple teen girls show up half an hour after we turned off our outdoor light.

[I-Hate-Hulse]

48 in Hillhurst. About 15 lower than last year. It was misting which undoubtedly lowered the numbers.

[greyshep]

76 here in Langdon, down about 30 or so from last year likely due to the rain and cold weather.

Also figured I should share my sons pumpkin from this year...

[Ironhorse]

71, which is up from last year. One group of teens were singling Christmas carols, but got extra candy for singing "Batman Smells". A lot of little kids, which was nice to see.

[Ashartus]

Only had about 30 in Springbank Hill, usually we have closer to 150. Maybe partly the weather and partly every other house on my cul de sac having the lights off.

Final count 60 for us. Down from 130 last year.

[Francis's Hairpiece]

35 in Symon's Gate. About double last years.

[Wormius]

So anybody get any odd candies? I checked my kids stash, hoping for something they wouldn’t mind and found some Keg mints...

A few full-size Coffee Crisp, Kit Kat, and M&Ms.

[jg13]

67 in Winston Heights up 25 from last year.

This is one of the interesting things in America. A bit of a police state. Halloween, AFAIK, in the state of Illinois happens between the hours of 4pm and 8pm. This is enforced, apparently. Maybe this is just the municipality in which we live though, I am not sure.

Some crazy Halloween peeps here though. This is in our neighborhood

[Maccalus]

20 where we are in inglewood

[pseudoreality]

84 kids, up from 30 last year. It must have been my singing pumpkins.
