7 of us walked 6 blocks from our upper middle class neighborhood to the upper class neighborhood at Halloween because we heard they had great candy. One Halloween, I was dressed as the ‘Frito bandito’ and two people up in that neighborhood thought it was wrong. My first taste of Liberalism and PC. I was 9.

The only problem we had back then (about 60 years ago) is sometimes some stingy people would ask us if we were from their neighborhood (many times we weren't) and then turn us down if we weren't.

I remember one woman turning us down because she didn't recognize us as any of her neighbor kids. And we lived maybe three or four blocks away from the %$%$## (rhymes with witch). Not that we didn't get enough candy from the regular sources.

But as I got older and stopped trick or treating, I remember my mother (who always passed out the candy) never asking anybody where they were from and turning them down if they weren't from our neighborhood. Never asked when I was an adult and passed out candy.
