[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think a lot of people read into the OP's post more than what was there, and then there were other posters who contributed mean-spirited and/or bigoted sentiments about "outsiders." When I first read the OP's post, I didn't assume anything negative at all about race or class - just surprise at the volume of kids. I don't blame the OP for being curious as to why the Hill attracts so many kids for Trick or Treat - it's interesting to me as a former Hill resident - 10 years ago on the still gentrifying side of things we got ZERO ToTers. I think it's great that this area is now haven for kids, whomever they may be and whereever they may live. And I'm also in the more, the merrier group - my current neighborhood has become busier on Halloween over the past decade because of changing demographics (more kids!) and I'm thrilled. If people thought it was a desirable place to trick or treat, I'd see that as a huge plus![/quote]

Huge difference in tone between "Isn't it great how the neighborhood has changed" and "Where did all these people come from"[/quote]
