Our primary goal is to create a safe and respectful space where a broad spectrum of voices can be heard. We welcome diverse viewpoints and encourage readers to engage critically with one another’s ideas, but never at the expense of civility.

Lovely! So nice to see some innovation using all seasonal flora and fauna, carefully watched over a guardian at top. And NO plastic, just a bit of imagination!

How come you don’t post this on your own Twitter feed and earlier in the day?! Or a way to navigate to it on your site?! (Unless I’m totally missing that.) 🙂

I took the same photo this past Saturday but the address was 80th Street, not “the mid-60s” as described in this article’s caption. There were a few other nicely decorated stoops on the block.

Thanks. We initially had it wrong. Changed to the 80’s. WSR

I took this photo in the West 80s not the mid 60’s.

Picture fails to capture the other side of their ‘front yard.’ I’ve seen several pedestrians stop and pose with their Halloween decorations.

Well done!!

West 80 street between Amsterdam & Columbus.

Nice, but CANNOT BEGIN TO COMPETE with the great Halloween decorations that appear every year on W. 69th Street, encouraged by their great Block Association.

Not just pumpkins, but, to paraphrase the Wizard of Oz, lots of witches and bats and spiders, oh my!
