Capitol Hill Halloween Decor

Along East Capitol Street and Eastern Market, Halloween is a very big deal. When we first moved here, we walked along the streets in the evening and it was very difficult to navigate around the hoards of goblins and ghosts. But closer in to our neighborhood, there is less evidence of Halloween, but occasionally an interesting landscape catches our eye. I can't say we ever did a lot of decorating for Halloween. We always had at least a pumpkin, and I remember my candy bag broke - leaving me devastated as a four year old - but the bag and all of its' contents were miraculously replaced by my mother. There are certainly a lot of kids in the neighborhood, but being in a condo, we don't get the foot traffic we used to when we lived in Milwaukee. And since our grandson no longer lives nearby, there's even less of a reminder - although he may be outgrowing the candy stage at his age a d moving in to the party arena. But it is fun to see what types of decor springs up. I do know the squirrels love the pumpkins, and probably there will be more decor on display in the next several days. It's just another reminder of the seasons and time passing... It all has a very different affect on us as we get older. What do you do for Halloween?
