An Especially Creepy Halloween

I’ve always hated Halloween in Chicago—you would too unless you like getting hit with eggs or out-of-control-teens running wild on the streets. I know . . . I sound like an old lady fussing. For the past few years I’ve just avoided being out at night on Halloween. Kids will be kids.

Except this year. I’m not sure what to expect.

We’ll have fewer trick or treaters. Everyone will be masked. Candy will be delivered through a PVC pipe chute. Sort of a hands-off approach, yet still fun. But I also suspect it will be quieter, a bit lonelier on the street. Chicago under Covid lockdown felt like a ghost town, so on Halloween it will be especially creepier. Empty sidewalks under street lights.
