Sat Halloween Fotos
- This neighborhood is a nightmare come Halloween. The Greenwich Village Parade forms just a few blocks away and the march goes right through the area. Many hundreds of tourists wade through the streets during the day waiting for the nightfall.
1I was greeted in the morning by many police cars
all surrounded by the material to build blockades to
harness the visitors into the smallest possible area.

The entire area for many many blocks crossing and
intersecting with Sixth Ave. are blocked off to stop
pedestrian AND auto traffic. And this was at noon on Sat.

One door was nicely decorated.

The studio’s black cat wanted nothing to do
with the Halloween brouhaha.

So he jumped to the top of the 12 ft. wall to be alone.
Security and danger.
By the time I took off, about 6, there were
cops and people mixing everywhere in sight.
Crowds and more crowds were heading to the
blockaded area. Some in costume, some not.
Even out of sight of Sixth Ave. people were heading there.
I got a front row seat for the parade . . .
. . . watching it on television.
When the rain delay was over I switched to
the World Series to watch my Yankees win.

The first time I visited New York City was Halloween ’08. You guys do it so much better up there than down here in Tennessee. I think I saw about 15 Jokers when I was there.
