Sorry mang... but door-to-door trick or treating is becoming a thing of the past.

Pretty much, we as a society don't seem live in unified "NEIGHBORhoods" anymore. More or less, many of us don't even know the folks who live around us and pretty much don't trust them enough to send our kids out "free range" anymore.

The age of innocence has passed...

DFJ is 7 now, and I still won't let him go outside and play by himself without supervision. When I was 7 I was up and down my neighborhood... we all knew each other and looked out for each other, but today, only a few folks are "trusted" in my "hood".

I don't see that trend changing anytime soon.
