My neighborhood Halloween

posted Sunday, 1 November 2009

West 69th Street, puts on a fantastic Halloween display. The brownstones and residents on the two blocks between Central Part West and Broadway get all dressed up and welcome trick or treaters. The street is closed off to traffic and fills with hundreds and hundreds of people, families and children in wonderful costumes. The fog machines (plus a natural mist in the air last night) added to the joyous and ghostly atmosphere. I heard someone from the block association roaming around telling everyone that they have been doing this for 40 years. What a great and generous tradition!

My girl and a group of her friends made it your way for the festivities in your neighborhood. They loved the great effort you and the neighbors made!
