Make sure to click the images to enlarge. These photos should be viewed up close and personal. I absolutely loved the Hollywood and Highland center. It is located along Hollywood Boulevard and is the center of attention. Although it houses restaurants and retail shops, I see it as much more than your average mall. It is an open air complex which I really like. The retail shops and restaurants surround the main complex from the plaza area up to the second and third floors which you can visit by taking either the stairs or escalator on the far sides of the center. The plaza area is complete with some small retail kiosks and a small fountain to cool you during those Summer months. What really fascinated me about this center is all of the intricate artwork as you can see detailed in these photos. The artwork and sculptures are amazing. I walked around for about an hour just snapping shots of the creative artistry. I don't know the history but when you walk up the entrance sta

1. Halloween here coincides with All Souls Day--it's when people visit their dead at cemeteries/memorial parks. i don't celebrate it--been to a Halloween party once, a long time ago.:p
2. anybody who wants to have fun on Halloween should do it.:p Halloween allows people to express their "weird", creative sides.:p
2) Hmm, I don't think so.. ;) I think it is for anyone who wished to be part of it.. :)
Even if I'm a Christian, I celebrate Halloween now for the real meaning of the day. And I don't think Halloween is just for children. The Pagans celebrate it as a Happy New Year!
I love it when my little niece gets disguised as an old chestnuts seller at this time of the year.
Cool photo!
And, yes Halloween should be more for kids instead of grown up. I believe adults see it as a time to get plastered and that's not safe for kids who are walking after dark trick or treating.
While I do think Halloween should really be for children, I see so many adults who really enjoy this holiday. My youngest son and his girlfriend celebrate in a huge way. She is a design engineer and comes up with the most fabulous costumes!
1) I only celebrate it since I have a child with me.
2) I agree with you..Halloween should only be for children!
Thanks for participating!
Overall, I think that kids have the most fun on this day. I'll never forget how excited I used to get dressing up in my costume (being someone else for a night) and then going around asking for and getting all the candy I wanted. Heaven for a child.
I wish it was geared more for children but now it does seem to be more of an adult holiday.
Great questions.
2) I think about should have their own fun or party, and it bothers me to see teenagers pushing the kids around for candies..
I celebrate Halloween with my kids, trick a treat and dress up at school.
No, I think Halloween could fun for adults too, a mask party is a lot of fun!
I think it is for children but that doesn't mean that adults can't enjoy it. Half the fun of it for me is to see all the little ones come to the door in their costumes
Well I decorated my main blog for the holiday, so I guess I am into the spirit of Halloween. Other than that not really, no parties or costumes.
We live in a quiet neighborhood and I do enjoy handing out candy to the kids. Almost all of the kids who come to our door are accompanied by parents. We get 150 to 200 each year and our cul de sac is filled with little goblins at times, it is fun.
