Your neighborhood?

Highland Park gets a shit ton of kids.

I’ll be giving out full bars on Stanton Heights, but you’d best have hill climbing legs.

Your own neighborhood for sure. I'd be irked if someone that has no intention of being part of my community came hitting me up for stuff and then vanishing.

Your own neighborhood, that's the idea of Halloween.

How would you even know? I mean do you know every family in your neighborhood? Not disagreeing they should be in their neighborhood but honestly how would you even really know.

Friends of ours live in an area with a lot of trick or treating and some people just straight up tell them things like "our neighborhood had trick or treating last week but we always stop by here!"

I know everyone else already mentioned this, but…. what’s wrong with the neighborhood you live in?

I'm not going to be taking attendance, lol. I don't care how someone is a member of the community (residency, work, friends, family, worship, etc). Halloween is probably the biggest community-building event each year. I want people who are interested in building the community. I don't want an opportunistic rando from Reddit.

What I mean is that it's low to solicit recommendations for a community from which one can leech.

If you can't trick-or-treat in your neighborhood don't live there

That’s why I asked. I have a friend who lives on Connor Road in Mt Lebanon/Castle Shannon. There’s no sidewalks and no one comes to their house. It’s just not a safe place to trick or treat.

It’s a fine neighborhood to live in, but not for Halloween. Nothing having to do with boogie men

Geez people have strong opinions about this. And taking a child somewhere to trick or treat is “leeching off the community” lol? That is ridiculous. It’s one fkn kid it’s not like I’m bringing a battalion of people to drain all the candy lol.

Where I live has crazy hills, very few sidewalks and not many children so my kid won’t see others, which is part of the fun. With few sidewalks it can be dangerous with cars. That’s why I asked about a better place. Just looking for suggestions so a kid can have some fun.

Reddit sucks these days.

If I had a child nowadays it would he or she would not go In any neighborhood too dangerous and it's a shame it is so sad

The world is too messed up nowadays keep your kid at home

Where are flat Pgh communities

At least go on the side streets? That whole plan behind Washington Junction? I never remember the names. I think Santa Fe is one?

You can be in your neighborhood on a different street. It's not like you gotta be "everyone hop in the car, we're going to Sewickley!"

Yes, this sub is especially salty about nearly everything. Anyway, the answer to your question is likely any denser, walkable, middle class to affluent neighborhood with lots of kids. Mt. Lebo, Brookline, Dormont, Morningside, Highland Park, Sewickley, Aspinwall, etc…

Everywhere is too dangerous? Wtf

Ignorant

For real. The way assholes drive around here is enough for me to want kids to go to wherever is safest. It’s actually the number one cause of death or injury on Halloween. We get plenty of trick or treaters at our house but people go crazy fast on the main road and I wouldn’t blame the kids for wanting to go somewhere safer.

It’s not. Use common sense and you will be fine

These comments are fucking wild LMAO. it’s Halloween.

My old neighborhood was nuts: Everlawn St, Vista View in West Mifflin.

Mt. Lebanon! Park at the library. You can go up hazel and around the neighborhood back there. Not flat, but a good place to park and go out, tons of kids, sidewalks, super safe, and almost every house hands out candy (I live there).

Screw everyone who's commenting that you can't come into other communities. Despite Lebo's reputation as a bubble, there is not a single person I know who would bat an eye at someone bringing a kiddo from another neighborhood to trick or treat.
