This city, of course, is probably one of the greatest cities to celebrate Halloween. You got the Voodoo scene, the ghost crap, the witch-craft, those wannabe psychic tarot card readers, beer, candy, parades...the list goes on and on. Sounds sort of like Halloween, eh? That's just a taste of normal life here. Those are all great reasons why this place is the perfect setting for Halloween. But what about the number 1 reason why this place is great for Halloween...
As I'm driving home just after dark, trick-or-treaters were out in full force. Glancing over at the sidewalk I notice a family walking down the sidewalk. The kids are dressed up carrying their buckets. Trailing behind the kids are the parents pulling a radio-flyer, which I assume is to carry the load of candy. But wait, the parents are also pulling an ice chest (presumably full of beer). But wait, each adult has a beer in hand. Classic! In any other city, the parents would be fined for public intoxication and would probably go to jail for child neglect. Here, it's a part of life.
And those weren't the only parents toting coolers on Halloween night.
