Halloween Is Coming! And We Are Looking...

[Jim O'Bryan]

Halloween and the holidays are coming, and once again we will be on the look out for scary, funny, and different homes around Lakewood and vicinity. As a show of thanks to everyone that takes the time to go from elaborate huge displays, to those just getting started with a pumpkin, we want to hear about it or see it!




Post images here, or places we can find good displays, post images, and also send them in through the Question of the Day.

Good tips on Halloween and Fall home and business decorations coming in!




Amazing display on Spring Garden, mostly homemade decorations that are amazing!


Inflatables seem to rull the holiday elsewhere around the city.








Businesses getting into it as well!

While we still have this beautiful fall weather, get out and walk the walkable city, check out the holiday decorations, and have a great time talking with neighbors and friends!

This has got to be one of my favorite times of the year. I remember trick or treating-- plotting with my pals the most lucrative routes. Efficiency mattered so doubles were a good target.

I often go out in the early evening, and walk up and down a street in pursuit of signatures to end gerrymandering by ballot measure.

I thought of this post this evening, because the Halloween decorations this month add a delightful element. As it happens I was just on Spring Garden today. (I liked the household whose decorations mostly consisted of plastic skulls on poles. Macabre understatement.)

I should bring my camera with me for the next couple of weeks.

Early? Or genius? All day the person I was driving around with said, "How come no one ever dresses up as Santa?"
