Walking down the streets of Park Slope this time of year I smile a lot because of the Halloween decorations. They came out in full force last week.

In some neighborhoods you might find tasteful carved pumpkins and autumnal colors. Here it’s all about creepy. Like stretchy spider web. People around here love the stuff. Many a building has stretchable spider webbing draped from windows and covering windows, front gates and stoops. I’m seeing it everywhere.

Sometimes it looks great, sometimes it looks like toilet paper. Sometimes it has other things mixed in like screaming skeletons or black spiders.

I have to say, I’m tempted to decorate a bit with this stuff. They must sell it at Little Things or Save on Fifth. Obviously, it’s available in the neighborhood. Everyone seems to be using it.
