'Tis the Scary Season

By Eric Langenbacher

Despite the weather, another amazing Halloween has come and gone in our community. I am happy to announce the winners of the third annual Burleith Halloween Decorating Contest, sponsored by the Burleith Citizens Association. Thanks to everyone who made our neighborhood so festive! Gift cards have been distributed to the winners.

First place ($100) goes to 1800 35th Street on the corner of S and 35th, which was also last year’s winner. The decorations were even more stupendous than before, with a skeleton-pirate theme. Dry ice, animatronics, and sound effects were especial highlights.

2nd place ($50): 3817 T Street, especially due to the creepy, illuminated eyeballs.

3rd place ($25): 1939 39th for its inflatable ghost, cool lights, and much spider webbing. (also won in 2021.)
