If you feel comfortable with your children, tweens and/or teens trick-or-treating, that says something about your city.

Read her article “What can trick-or-treaters tell you about the health of your neighborhood?” by Claire Thompson.

Also, Richard Florida, author of The Great Reset, compiled a list of the best cities for trick-or-treating. (Yes, the Twin Cities made the list.)
