When I lived in Waco, there were literally hundreds of kids coming to my door on Halloween. I'm not totally sure why, though I think the fact that I lived in a relatively affluent area (Castle Heights) with houses close together might have had something to do with it. I loved seeing all the costumes, and later on when high school students would come by, I had fun giving them things like soap and Vienna sausages.
In Edina,there are not nearly as many kids, but my neighbors are more generous-- one house was apparently giving out full cans of Mountain Dew. Really. Meanwhile, I gave out a mix of tattoos and Vasito Karla Dulces, which is some kind of tamarind/guava-flavored goo from Mexico that I found at the Midtown Global Marketplace.
What's your report? What were the best costumes you saw?
