I like All Hallow's Eve, more for the holy day we Catholics celebrate - All Saints' Eve - than the weird yard displays. However, it turns out that the street on the other side of our block is known as "Halloween Street," and it's pretty cool.
We heard that people over there socialize with neighbors on Halloween, but we didn't have the whole story!
On the afternoon of the 31st, I walked up the street and was amazed at what was going on. People were putting up huge displays - I think some people actually took the afternoon off work to do so! I talked to a neighbor who was putting up the "Hollywood" display. He informed me that the street gets 800-1,000 kids, and they have street performers come in!
I got pictures in daylight since I figured my phone wouldn't take good pictures at night.

We checked it out that night. Everyone was out in their front yards with fires going. We missed the Morris Dancers but saw some great costumes - one kid was dressed as a spaghetti dinner, complete with table around her neck. We also met some more neighbors. Including a young couple with a new baby! I'm so thankful to finally have a new friend/walking partner close to my house.
Our neighborhood is cool....
