Spooky Streets of Old Town Alexandria

After viewing the skeleton party on Prince Street in Old Town Alexandria on our morning walk last week, we headed in the opposite direction that we normally do. There, the neighborhood is more residential and less business oriented - where people have probably lived for a long time. One can only imagine who has walked the streets of this place! A full size wicked witch of the west and her broomstick were in the window of one home - and the legs of the old witch were under the house. There were ghouls and goblins everywhere - it must look really creepy in the evening and night hours. Skeletons seem to be the main theme more than most years, along with a black cat and plenty of pumpkins. The ascending bats on the house was an interesting element. Luckily there were less frightful scarecrows and friendly ghosts too. Old Town usually puts on a show during this frightful season and this year was no exception.
