Even though I live in one of the most densely populated cities in an area with well over a 90% occupancy rate, we get very few children at our house and never have in the fourteen years we have been here.
Part of it is the way the street is situated. We have a street that enters ours two doors down and across the road making a pointed corner. The flow of walking naturally has people cutting the corner and missing our house. That means we buy s couple dozen full size Malley’s Bars and those that get to us, get a nice treat!
That being said, yesterday in our neighborhood we had a smaller than normal showing. It was beautiful weather wise, but it was also a Saturday so lots of people where at parties and relatives houses.
My parents live a block away and my sister about five blocks away and they are always swamped with a couple hundred kids a year. We are lucky to get 20 and my sister two blocks from me gets fewer than a dozen. She also buys a box of Malley’s Bars to give out.
None the less we took our kids out and they scored big time. Even going on only three streets.
We had only a handful on our street but I kept the light off cause we had nothing to give out.
