There was music and bottled water in the park and, of course, all manner of treats for the kids supplied by Faubourg St.John neighbors. Below are just a few photos of a very Happy Halloween in Faubourg St. John:

It’s not clear whether Jimmy is warning of an impending invasion or giving notice that he has arrived. In any case, watch the video below as you ponder the possible meanings of this flag flying on Ursulines Avenue.
