I'd be interested to find out what data was used to determine Philly is #1 for trick or treating. It could just be a meaningless list meant to attract eyeballs for candy advertisers.


Because you have extensively explored our 10+ county region that spans across 4 states.

I'm talking countrywide/nationwide. Beyond the 10+ county region. Expand your horizons, young man.

Unless were talking about Massachusetts (Halloween), I never noticed one area having more or less Halloween/Christmas decorations. To me it is more by town, than by region.

Well, I have. Just because you haven't noticed doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Like I said, expand your horizons. Massachusetts is not the rest of the country.

I've been to 32 states, every major city, and road trips all over the country, I notice no difference by region, only by specific town :/

Wow that's some effort for those pumpkins haha. Good for you. Last year I didn't carve but instead painted a really cool chevron pattern on my pumpkin at a friends carving party. The pumpkin lasted one night on my stoop until someone threw a rock at it, smashing it to bits. Que smashing pumpkin band jokes. I've also had someone steal my fall flowers and spring welcome mat. I'm not going to let it stop me-- I'll figure out a way to get my Christmas decor out there this year. Somehow.
