[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live near Marion Park on Capitol Hill - there were hordes of trick or treaters last night, and I would guess 95% of them do not live in the (nearby) neighborhood.  Where do they come from?[/quote]

OP here.  I didn't say I MINDED the hordes of TOTers . . . I just wondered where they came from.  Indeed, we had a great time and passed out over 1000 pieces of candy; we seemed to be the last house open on our block.  And for those all up in arms asking how I know the majority don't live in the (near) neighborhood - give me a break!  I live here and walk the blocks around my house and have children in the local elementary.  I have a pretty good (evidence-based) idea of who lives in the neighborhood.[/quote]

Having bought our first house in 1998 on Capitol Hill and have kids now in HS and MS I haven't seen a change in the amount/type of kids who TOT on the Hill.  It has always been big.  It got bigger when those of us who were urban pioneers started Hilloween but I can assure you that even before that -- loads of kids.  It is what makes the Hill great for TOT.  Lots of houses closed together!  [/quote]
