I had to go check this rumour out. And it occurred to me as I was doing this that this could potentially count as an urban myth. Imagine every year there is a rumour that Russell Street was not holding Halloween this year. The only way that could happen is if someone on Russell Street got all their neighbors to agree to not do anything this year; and any one who is part of a home owner’s association knows that homeowners do not agree on much.
Evidence #1
Obviously there was no consensus but as for the kind of wild activity that would be expected 4 days before Halloween, there was only one lone house in the process of creating something big and potentially monstrous.
Will it be a goulish hut or a giant's forehead?
No matter, I think the other homes have elves that come by the night before Halloween to help build the insane displays.
The really important scoop is that Nabolom Bakery on the corner of Russell and College is again giving away cookies to children in costumes and will be open until 8pm, possibly accompanied by live music.
Cookies for costumed kids means cookies for everybody, right?
See you on Russell Street.
