A couple of things stand out, though. The ban on fireworks is one. And the lack of harmless vandalism is another. Halloween is supposed to be scary, dangerous and mildly damaging to the established order. It's not Christmas in black and orange but that's what it is turning into. It's the one night of the year when the forces of chaos and anarchy are unleashed. If I ever go out in costume I'll be dressed as a razor blade in an apple.Benjamin Madisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557453060872726741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583858833715089401.post-54483351103878294952010-11-05T00:35:33.256-07:002010-11-05T00:35:33.256-07:00Maybe it was tame in your neighbourhood, over in F...Maybe it was tame in your neighbourhood, over in Fernwood we had a wild time!!!<br />Check it out:<br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/ngawangchodron/sets/72157625285894120/Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05979266643226229825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583858833715089401.post-3703399103541282992010-11-04T11:33:42.216-07:002010-11-04T11:33:42.216-07:00I was in Quebec City one year during Halloween, an...I was in Quebec City one year during Halloween, and they had way more lawn/yard stuff out. My guess is the RC influence.<br />In Victoria, the older demographic is likely a factor too.Dean Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06517101319415981439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583858833715089401.post-66442449237629144962010-11-04T11:14:14.053-07:002010-11-04T11:14:14.053-07:00I posted a week's worth of Halloween themed ph...I posted a week's worth of Halloween themed photos over at my blog, Benjamin.<br />In fact, it was your recent Craigdarroch Castle photos that inspired me. I spent some time there and Ross Bay Cemetary.<br />Of course, a little creative license was taken to emphasize the season. Check 'em out...

Now it's just another reason to get drunk.<br />-<br />As a kid, my Mom used to dress me up as a tramp. You know, fish-net stockings, stiletto heels, lots of lipstick. <br /> :)Dean Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06517101319415981439noreply@blogger.com
