There are times in the life of a neighborhood blogger that lack purpose. What to write! And there are times when you receive a mail from Gilby.

Hi,
My name is Gilby. I found your email from CHS Seattle.
Not sure if you are able to answer my question? But, here it is.

Will there be trick or treating on 17th, 18th & 19th on streets, on Capital Hill, this year, as there was last Halloween?

I was reading through the message board, and became a bit confused with some of the posts.

If you could please let me know, asap, as Halloween is in a few hours, that would be great. I took my son trick or treating there last year, and he loved it.
We live a few blocks away, so it’s convenient.

Thank you for your time.
Hope to hear back soon.

Cheers,
Gilby

Yes, Gilby, there will be trick or treating on 17th, 18th and 19th tonight. We expect there to be tricks and treating and more including mind-blowing yard displays and crowds of people wandering to and fro. Why do they do it? Nobody really knows. But it’s fun, no? And it’s kind of crazy. And you’ll remember it next year for sure. We’ll be out there for some fun too so watch for us. If you score any Baby Ruth or Butterfingers, say hi. If anybody tells you there is no such thing as J or K, well, we hate to disagree with them, but not only IS there such persons, but here we are to prove it. Happy Halloween!
