We have a pretty close community with old-style houses near walkable sidewalks, so the house-to-house tradition persists. (Also, we're notoriously free-spirited ... there was a costume parade for little kids in Old Town this afternoon, but the wandering around after dark in costumes thing is right down our alley.)

It turns out I was just too impatient - once it was time for the older kids to be out, we started getting customers.
