Luckily I live in that nether region that is beyond the suburbs but before real rural sets in.

Though parents come along with the kids, (something that did not happened in the 50s-60s when I was a kid) and cop cars patrol and turn on their lights to the kids delight) it still was stress free and the number of little kids (princesses and superheroes still at the top of the heap) easily got the better part of my seven pounds of Snickers.

Was living in Spring Branch at the time. I was 13 at the time. We had a very tight neighborhood and We were from then on limited to having to know whose house We went to. A real shame that boy was murdered and it screwed up Halloween from then on.
