Halloween In Old Town

I have some pretty great memories of Halloweens growing up. As a kid, I was much more into the “how much candy can I get in my pillowsack” as opposed to the “I want to be scared silly” by costumes and decorations. Now that we have children who are old enough to trick or treat, I’ve become much more aware of the awesome decorations that are around Old Town, and in particular, some of the amazing decorations on Mountain Ave. It certainly seems that Mountain Ave is the unofficial Halloween destination in Old Town, and you will find a little bit of everything on many homes, but here is a collection of the more “grand” and awesome halloween decorations you might see as you cruise down Mountain Ave this year.

An ode to Old Town trees

Every morning, I wake up at 5:30, make my coffee, write, and spend some time with my youngest daughter before trodding out the door with my german shepherd Edel. We have quite a few paths that we take, but by far her favorite is a quick and eager pull to the left towards city park. Because we are out so early, there rarely is much traffic, but the birds are already busy about their days. I hear the shrill calls of jays high up in the trees, the unmistakable “chicka-dee-dee” of the chickadee, and frequently see turkey vultures sunning themselves high up in a spruce tree, catching the early morning sun from the east.

The Gardens at Spring Creek

The Gardens at Spring Creek is one of my favorite places to visit for a calm and relaxing hour or so. With special events, plant sales, free mulch, and more, I highly recommend visiting at some point!

An Origin Story

I didn’t grow up in a historic home or in a historic neighborhood. In fact, I grew up in a 1950’s style ranch home in the NE heights of Albuquerque, NM
