I wondered if we would get many trick-or-treaters. We live between (I guess) Downtown & Bexley, near Franklin Park. What's the normal # of costume-clad kiddos per door step?

I live one block West of Franklin Park and last year I had maybe 30 kids?

I'm still up for debate on passing out candy, I bought some, but many of the kids come up w/o costumes, don't say anything, aren't polite - just hold up their kroger sack in front of you and they don't even smile.

Trick or Treat night in the hood makes me miss the suburbs.

LOL I knowÃ¢â‚¬Â¦Ã¢â‚¬Â¦.
Last year I had a little girl say Ã¢â‚¬Å“ ThatÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s all?Ã¢â‚¬Â
the thing is I donÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t even go light on the candy either I hook it up that made my mouth drop.

I quit when over the course of the evening, multiple mothers came up to the porch trick or treating on behalf of their kids in the stroller out on the sidewalk. Like, these kids definitely didn't even have teeth yet.

I havenÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t gotten a single kid in Harrison West the last two years. Last year I even just left a bucket outside thinking for sure somebody would come by and take it all. Nope.

Obama would want for each trick or treater to have just one piece of candy. I hope my trick or treaters will appreciate this.

They all just stick to Neil Avenue -- it's halloween highway.

We get about 400 or so kids - it can be expensive! Last year, my favorite was the pregnant teen mom getting three pieces - one for her toddler, one for her unborn baby and one for herself. We save the Reese's cups for good costumes (and ourselves.)

Well I never knew. Thanks! Might have to walk up there just to see some costumes.

Fewer traffic incidents when compared to holding it on Friday or Saturday.

Also it's a school night. Kids, in theory, won't be out all night causing mischief.

I lived in the Franklin Park area for several years. We would typically get 30-40 kids, also mostly not costumed. I would make those not in costume, especially the older ones, earn their treats...tell me a joke, make me laugh, anything. My husband always dreaded it, thinking that we would get egged or worse, but not one trick or treater ever refused :)
Even without costumes, though, those kids have to work hard to get any candy...few houses around participated.
