Do children trick or treat where you live?

[pkrahmer]

I live in a condo and have had very few trick-or-treaters over the years.

When I was growing up there was a older couple across the street didn't have any children but they loved Halloween. They decorated their whole house and she dressed up  as a witch. Everyone came to their house even people who lived two towns away.

I know there are many reasons including safety concerns as to why children don't go trick-or-treating anymore. I just think it's a shame they've lost that part of their childhood.

I love the trick or treaters, but don't get any where I live now-no small children in the area

I think I may have had 4 trick-or-treaters in 15 years and those were kids I knew. I get a bag of candy just in case.

In my old neighborhood, I would get a ton of kids.  At times, I even had a busload of kids lined up along my front walk.  In this neighborhood, there are no younger children.  The houses are quite far apart so it would be tougher for them to go ou, even if we had kids around.

Few here trick or treat from door to door, not to safe anymore. They go from store to store.

Yeah there are a fair amount of trick or treaters where I live.  There isn't an over abundance of them because there is a more wealthy neighborhood right behind mine, so most of the kids only go back in that neighborhood as they think they will get better treats.

We live on dead-end street so we don't have very many but we get a few more than we used to because there are a bunch of young kids on the street now.

No kids out here dont trick or treat.I've only had 1 child knock on my door in 5yrs lol I really wish it was like how it was when I was growing up. Its was like a neighborhood thing. All the kids would go out trick or treating together. Its nothing like how it used to be. I feel really bad that my daughter wont get to experience a "real" halloween.

They still have door-to-door trick-or-treating in my little part of the world.  We have several small cities around here and this is the first year in a long time that all but one will have the trick-or-treat night the same night.  Several communities have gone to having community parties for the kids instead of going door-to-door.  I am prepared every year for a trick-or-treater but no one wants to venture up my hollow.....

yes live in a new neighborhood where ther are lots of kids so you have to stock up with lots of candy.

[mlacourse]

i love the trick or treaters, but i live on a dark hwy outside of town, so i don't get any, but in my old neighborhood i would get a big crowd andi enjoyed it just as much as the kiddo's.

We usually get 3 or 4 groups of kids, maybe 3 to 6 in each.  Not nearly as many as there used to be.

I live in a development with many townhouses and the kids come out in force ... get tons of them ... usually run out of candy - and I buy alot
