Re: Question About Trick-or-Treating

[(Anonymous)]

I've mostly lived in Midwestern American cities that mostly lack the density of a Manhattan, where "urban neighborhood" usually means a mix of single-family houses, duplexes, small apartment buildings, and old houses divided into apartments, occurring in various proportions and packed fairly close together but usually not touching. In these situations, even kids in the apartment buildings can still easily trick-or-treat door-to-door up and down the street, since their buildings are small enough that there's no reason to stay inside them.

While as a kid we used to try our luck at any house with a porch light, I've noticed now that 1) usually that's not enough anymore and you need a pumpkin or some other decoration to signal you are passing out candy, and 2) I've overheard parents telling their kids "Not that house, we don't know them." (I don't believe this is fear of strangers but rather an attempt to limit their kids candy intake and making up a rule about only going to people they know.)

What I'm getting at is that parents can always take their kids to the homes of people they know, who they know are passing out candy, regardless of whether those people live in a stand-alone house or in the same big apartment building.

I figure it's not always going to be possible to get into *other* apartment buildings than the one they live in, assuming access to those buildings is restricted to residents, unless they know someone there who will let them in.

In large apartment buildings, there's probably an organized trick-or-treat day and time and maybe a way of marking your door to designate you are participating. My neighborhood has a designated trick-or-treat time block on the last Saturday in October - not Halloween specifically - so a building (i.e. a residents' group or building management) could always organize something like that rather than just leave everyone to figure it out themselves.
