We moved to a fairly family-centric neighborhood last March and I was
really surprised that we got so few (maybe a half dozen) small
children and so many (maybe a couple dozen) teenagers. IMHO, trick or
treating is for kids around 12 and younger. Most of the teenagers
don't make much of a stab at a costume, anyway, and are just out for a
pretty obvious candy grab.
