Halloween ten years later

Tonight the annual Halloween parade was planned to roam through Greenwich Village in New York as usual, but it has been cancelled due to the emergency situation in wake of hurricane Sandy. It’s the first time in 39 years that the parade gets cancelled. I guess somewhere Jack Skellington cries out in agony.

A decade ago, I stood on a cold street in Greenwich Village and watched the annual Halloween parade pass by. It was one year after the WTC attacks, and I felt that the city could really use some positive energy – even if it came in the shape of ghosts and goblins.

Cancelled or not, Happy Halloween folks!
