We decorate so that might attract them. We’re on Woodlawn in Ponce de Leon Heights. Halloween is my favorite holiday. I can’t wait!

Its interesting. From everyone’s comments it seems like you could get a decent reading on how “safe” the neighborhood feels by how many trick-or-treaters show up. Though other variables like density and traffic probably affect the number too.

But, I guess its pretty safe to say that if you’ve got all three of those things going in your favor, you’ll be swamped.

When we first moved in, we really didn’t have any. But we’ve had an influx of new families and new babies over the years. My own kids go up and down Sycamore and then hit Sycamore Ridge and always end up with way too much candy. Also, our neighbors decorate much more than they did years ago, so maybe the kids feel more welcome on our street?

We had car after car of children pull up to each house-most of them not even dressed up!-demanding candy. There were at least 10 mothers who claimed to have a “sick child at home” also who wanted candy. The final straw came when a group of 13 year old boys, all wearing dark hoods asked me if I was the trick or the treat for them?!? It’s really too bad-I used to love Halloween but I just don’t trust kids OR parents these days.
