HALLOWEEN IN HARLEM

HALLOWEEN IS SPECIAL IN HAMILTON TERRACE. IT’S NOT ON THE MAIN GRID OF MANHATTAN STREETS. SO THE RESIDENTS REALY PUSH WITH SPOOKY APARITIONS

WE OFFERED A PRIZE OF A BOTTLE OF LARIA FRAGRANCE OIL FOR THE SCARIEST DECORATION

NEIGHBORS HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THEIR DECORATIONS ALL WEEK. CITY COLLEGE ORGANISED A WALK OF THEIR HIDDEN TUNNELS AND GARGOYLES

THE SPOOKIEST AND MOST FUN DECORATION WAS THE UPSIDE-DOWN SKELETONS CAUGHT IN THE WEB OF A GIANT SPIDER OUTSIDE NUMBER 9 HAMILTON TERRACE!

FOR OUR ITALIAN FRIENDS, HALLOWEEN IS A CELEBRATION OF ‘ALL SOULS’ ON THE EVENING BEFORE THE CELEBRATION OF ALL SAINTS DAY. HALLOWEEN PROBABLY CAME TO AMERICA WITH IRISH, SCOTTISH AND WELSH SETTLERS
