Incase you aren't familiar, this is a unique neighborhood gem. Just one block long, located between 2nd and 3rd streets in Bordentown City, every year, the block decorates the homes with one amazingly creative elaborate and coordinated theme for Halloween.
This year they are decking the place out with a very timely theme of The Wizard of Oz. There are ruby slippers and witch hats hanging from above, emerald city green "OZ" flags flying, and the legs of the wicked witch just crushed by Dorothy's house hanging out of several windows. The scene where the Wicked Witch peers into her crystal ball is also coming to life and becomes more detailed every time I walk down the street. It feels like you're on a movie set. The amount of effort and creativity put into the decorations year after year is commendable. Never a horror or gore theme, it's sometimes a bit creepy but always family oriented. The street celebrates with a block party on Halloween night making this is a the kind of place that you & your kids will remember fondly whenever they think of Halloween.
I first learned about the Thompson Street tradition from one of my son's babysitters who grew up in Bordentown. It was a great memory from her own childhood and something she wanted to pass on. For the past six years visiting Thompson Street and showing it to others visiting the area has become part of our family tradition.
Truly, this year's celebration reminds me that #theresnoplacelikehome.
