Best neighborhood for Trick or Treating
I'm fairly new to the area and am planning to take my boys trick or treating this weekend. Where should we go??? Obviously, I would like a safe neighborhood, nice sidewalks suitable for a stroller, and houses fairly close together (for those times my toddler decides to walk).
Thanks for your ideas!

I'd think Bayview, Shorewood or Whitefish Bay.

If you're in northwest milwaukee, I would go to Menomonee Falls & possibly Germantown. You should get some good candy loot there. |

The best is probably your own neighborhood. It gives you a chance to meet with the neighbors and get to know everyone. Trick or treating isn't all about "getting loot" for the kids, it's a way to interact with the neighborhood and for the kids to meet their friends and maybe make new ones.

Amen! I know Trick or treating was much different when I was a kid, but that's life, although there is something to be said about doing it in the dark with jack o lanterns on porches etc.. |

Stay in your own neighborhood. People can generally tell if you're an outsider. Plus, it's more fun for the kids to trick or treat with other kids in your neighborhood.
