what time do they cut off?

i find those types of laws just silly. i mean, if you don't want kids coming to your door at a certain hour, blow out the pumpkin and turn off the light.
done.

- That's super early. Peak time was around 7-7:15 here -- nm - Guigue Nov 1, 09:30 24
  - yeah, the town allows kids to trick or treat from 4-6:30 -- nm - ghouly Nov 1, 09:30 23
    - so, no-one with an actual job can be home when it starts. -- nm - Candie Apple Nov 1, 09:31 22

        Nothing says "Fun Halloween" like "Share the fun by arranging a visit to a Retirement Home or Senior Center." -- nm - Guigue Nov 1, 09:39 14

        I guess this is why so many people don't like big government. -- nm - Roger More Nov 1, 09:56
        
        you ever scare the shit out of an old lady in a walker????? - ghouly Nov 1, 09:40
        
        also, "you can only T-or-T within two blocks of your home." Don't even think about walking *3* blocks over. -- nm - Candie Apple Nov 1, 09:40 9
        
        I had literally zero other people living within half a mile of me. -- nm - Reagen Nov 1, 09:49 1
        
        well, you did have to climb down the beanstalk. -- nm - ghouly Nov 1, 09:50
        
        oh hell no - we always traveled to the better neighborhoods -- nm - Epiphany Nov 1, 09:44

        when I was young, we would wander around for 5 hours. - ghouly Nov 1, 09:43 4
        
        Yeah we'd do the entire town. Several hours worth. -- nm - iSpam Nov 1, 09:47 1
        
        I would have to stop home to empty the bag several times. - ghouly Nov 1, 09:49
        
        Right, we'd have the run of the neighborhood. -- nm - znufrii Nov 1, 09:46
        
        right? me too. that was fun. -- nm - Candie Apple Nov 1, 09:43
        
        o.m.g. -- nm - Candie Apple Nov 1, 09:37
      - mostly true. - ghouly Nov 1, 09:34
      - And a lot of younger kids can't go because their parents aren't home in time -- nm - Guigue Nov 1, 09:32
      - (and, what's the point of a jack-o-lantern, it's still broad daylight.) -- nm* - Candie Apple Nov 1, 09:31 2
        
        it is pretty dark here at 6:30 this time of year. -- nm - ghouly Nov 1, 09:35 1
        
        yeah, at 6:30, when it's ending. not at 4. -- nm - Candie Apple Nov 1, 09:35
we know we get the teenagers after 8 pm - and that's fine. We closed down shop at 9 pm -- nm - Epiphany Nov 1, 09:27
