Subject: RE: BS: trick or treat in my town today
Welcome to Bremen, Ohio.....a throwback little village in Faifield County where the '50's still hold sway.........at least a little.

One of thos times is Halloween. We have a few less than 2 dozen streets, most still brick and heavily tree lined. On Beggar's Night we get about 400 kids, most accompanied by family members, very few teens, and all of them very polite. We probably get two or three jerks but its rare. From 6-7:30 last night we passed out candy. It is that one day of the year I love to live here and be home. They come in a steady stream of kids and parents and on the good weather nights like this year, its almost like a community block party.

I will rue the day when the times catch up here, In many ways they have.......... but at Halloween I can relive my own childhood in another small Ohio town when it really was the 50's.
