Thread Name: BS: Holidays Aren't What They Used To Be
Subject: RE: BS: Holidays Aren't What They Used To Be
Well Ziz, ya' see, I live in the tiny littel village in southeastern Ohio and its a kind of throwback place. Probably half the town doesn't lock their doors. Folks here decorate for damn near every holiday including Halloween. We have just over a dozen streets, most of them still brick, and tonight, just like every Halloween since we moved here 20 years ago, we had around 350 Trick-or-Treaters on those streets between 6 and 7. The kids are generally accompanied by a parent and almost all are polite to a fault with even the tiniest of tots saying "Thank You."

The real world will catch up to this place pretty soon but it sure has been great while it's lasted........Kinda' like reliving my childhood........***sigh***............But if you want to sorta' relive yours, come on over from the 'Burgh next year and help pass out candy!
