For one evening at least, typical boundaries between neighborhoods and between public and private evaporate.
This is apparently very true in Baltimore’s Hampden neighborhood, where a student of mine named Jason Gottlieb lives. Thankfully, Jason took some incredible pictures of the Hampton Halloween experience, which you can see below:
