Not-so-fun fact:

Halloween is the deadliest day of the year for people under 18. But it's because they get hit by cars, none of the candy BS.

Edit: if this bothers you (and it should!) It only costs $25 to close your street, and suspend open container laws at the same time!

Back in the 80s I was a small child living in Beechview, and they used to have insane block parties. I was only 4 years old, and I remember people doing keg stands and climbing up the telephone poles and shit.

I vaguely remember a pie fight. And some boobs.

I'm honestly surprised Halloween block parties aren't already a thing across the city.
