PLG Halloween Trick or Treat Route

Happy Halloween, PLGers! The 71st Precinct Community Council is again sponsoring a trick-or-treat walk for those so inclined. While I am skeptical that a "safe route" is warranted, if people think it is, it probably is - if for no other reason than it will mean more kids are allowed to go out.

The trick-or-treating caravaners will start at 5PM at Rutland and Flatbush and weave their way to the precinct house at Empire and New York. The full route is:

Start at Rutland & Flatbush.
Walk Rutland Rd. to Rogers Ave.
Left on Rogers, Walk to Midwood St.
Left on Midwood, Walk to Bedford Ave.
Right on Bedford, Walk to Maple St.
Right on Maple, Walk to New York Ave.
Left on New York, Walk to Empire Blvd.
End at New York & Empire @ the 71st Precinct.

The precinct will have more candy and games until 9PM.

Additionally, many of the businesses on Flatbush (and I assume on the other avenues) have candy for kids and I know that some of the houses on Hawthorne last year did as well, despite being off of the official route.

This year we will not be giving out candy as we will be among the revelers. Look for a two-and-a-half foot otter and say hi.

I went last year and had a ball looking forward to going tonight...

Rumors of two off-route houses with candy: 24 Lefferts and 25 Hawthorne.

My sister and I live at 24 Lefferts Avenue, right off Washington. We'll be hanging out on our stoop again this year, handing out candy. Feel free to stop by on your way too or from the route. We'll be out from 5PM on. Happy Halloween!
