After writing this column for 7 years, I am saying farewell to my journalism “career”.
I have really enjoyed writing for you and exploring our neighborhood through the eyes of a kid.
If you are interested in taking over Kids Corner, please reach out to Linda Cross at lcross@sdtimes.org. OF COURSE we can’t forget that Halloween is coming . . . . and things maybe a little different BUT still wanted to keep you all safe with these reminders! – Trick or Treat during the designated hours of 6:30 – 8. – Only go to homes that have a front porch light on! – A long standing tradition in St. Louis is asking kids for a trick, joke or song then are rewarded with goodies . . . so get ready to charm! – Children should be accompanied by an adult; older children should be in pairs or groups. – Look BOTH WAYS when crossing streets . . . drivers are speeding through our streets looking at houses, not the road. – Hold a flashlight or even a glow stick when trick-or-treating so you can see others and they can see you. – Wear well-fitting masks, costumes and shoes to avoid blocked vision, trips and falls. – Very tempting but do NOT eat opened candy, especially if you found it on the ground! Yuck! – Please be careful out there and have FUN! Question for September Kids Corner: Send them to kidscorner@sdtimes.org by October 10th
