In the Neighborhood: Zoo Boo
We didn’t celebrate Halloween when I was growing up. Religious reasons. When I had my own children, I let them dress up when they were little, although I made it perfectly clear that I was not a fan.

After that, we became non-observant. The college where I currently work is heavily involved in community outreach. In fact, our biggest events are Zoo Boo, Alexandria Winter Fete, and Mardi Gras. Zoo Boo is a big Halloween celebration that takes…
