I visited a friend who lives near the northern end of Brooklyn. She has no kids and lives in a coop apartment carved out of a big house. She has a porch facing the street from which she gives out candy. She said she had fewer ToTers than last year but she lives a few blocks from the area where 10 families decorate their houses to be haunted. On a warm evening like yesterday, there must have been a zillion kids and caretakers out there.
Running errands yesterday afternoon, I saw many many kids ToTing with their parents/other adults. I got a ride to my friend’s house but on the way home on bus and subway, I saw many teens and young adults in all manner of costumes–certainly many sexy witches plus other imaginative dress-up. I was wearing my mask from Target. Photo from another day.
