The Haunting of Remington


 Another great day for the 'hood!  HauntingdonV started with an early clean up and dedication by the JHU Habitat volunteers to make the 2900 block of Huntingdon ready for the big event.  Neighbors were eagerly awaiting the festivities.  All of Remington was prepping for Halloween from the decorations cropping up around the Stony Run section, through Greater Remington and down to Little Italy.

Zombies of all kinds were roaming the streets, as well as lions, tigers and bears, oh my!

 








 
The ubiquitous Mary Pat arrived to give Tom Culotta a hug in front of The Community School.  The GRIA was present handing out some very delicious cake to celebrate our winning the top prize for our efforts to keep Remington clean. 

As a reminder of how big of an influence the 'hood has on the environment, Scary Crab directed traffic to the even scarier haunted "house" where the horror of toxins presided.  Screams could be heard!
 
 Lennon LaRicci and Dad provided the background music for the festivities as well as handing out the prizes for the best costume.  That "satellite" community to the north, what's it called?  Oh, yes, Hampden. They can keep their 2 month rule over Christmas lights, but as for Halloween, Remington rocks!
