Snapshots from the neighborhoods' vaults

The spiderweb gauntlet leading to Aki Ueno's front door on the 1100 block of Hamilton Avenue is enough to make anyone's skin crawl. Three giant, hairy spiders stare down as if to pounce on any trick-or-treater who dares to seek candy on Halloween night.

I am glad to see Holloween back. For the past 10 years, Holloween, a holiday by the kids and for the kids seemed like it was doomed to extinction, but this year is the fist year, I personally see an openness and a willingness by parents to bring it back.
All I can say to everyone apposed to Holloween for what ever reason is this.
All my siblings, parents and friends have all turned out to be normal humans and we all look back on our youth on Holloween night as a time to have fun, dress up and be someone else for one night.

HAPPY HOLLOWEEN EVERYONE
and keep building on the house for years to come. You won't regret it.

We did wicked blinking pumpkins and loosely hanging spiders that the Halloween knockers loved. I'm glad others are taking the time to put the ghoulish spirit back in this October holiday. It's tickled the kids plenty, and I sure had fun listening to their giggling and squealing too. Katherine
