I absolutely love the neighborhood I live in.  Love is not a verb I take lightly either.  It is urban living at it's best. I would bet that even our grouchiest, most goulish neighbors would even agree.  The true community feel everyone has here is infectious and most heightened, for me, around this time of year as my neighborhood absolutelly goes nuts for Halloween. We have entire streets decked out in decorations that rival any suburban Christmas light display. People from all over our city come, and are welcomed with open arms, for the many houses that totally get in the spirit. In addition to the actual holiday, we are privileged to have neighbors who are super amazing at planning and organizing.  Every year for the past decade we have invited our children and families to share in the spirit of dressing up for an annual parade and gathering in the park across the street from my house.  This year I brought my camera.   I was able to capture a tiny slice of the spirit my neighborhood exhumes, and all of the amazing families and children who make me so proud to call myself a city resident. After editing out some extra too cute for TV footage and Mr. Pumpkin getting our very good listeners to pick their noses! Really Mr. Pumpkin encouraging nose picking? This was the result...
