      HALLOWEEN...DOWNTOWN!

   The city of Pittston has been undergoing
a renaissance over the past few years. Now
community leaders are doing whatever they
can to bring people to Pittston to see what's
been done.
     Well it sure worked last evening!
      For the second time in as many years
merchants got together to open their doors
to trick or treaters! Thousands of kids in
costume, accompanied by their parents,
jammed Main Street and its shops.
       While the kids enjoyed the treats the
parents got a look at some places they
might not otherwise have seen!
         Snow White showed up to greet
the visitors and pose for photos. There
was music from the city's band shell
and even free hot chocolate to counter
the chilly evening.
         I almost got myself in trouble
complimenting one young gentleman
on his costume. Turns out he really
was a Policeman!
         Hope he assumes I was just
someone dressed as David DeCosmo
and that all your NEWS is good!
