Ever read about Hobo Symbols?
Beginning in the 1880′s up until World War Two, hoboes placed markings on fences, posts, sidewalks, buildings, trestles, bridge abutments, and railroad line side equipment to aid them and others of their kind in finding help or steering them clear of trouble. Usually, these signs would be written in chalk or coal letting others know what they could expect in the area of the symbol.
In my neighborhood we developed Trick-or-Treat Symbols. You carried a piece of chalk and marked the end of the driveway with them. That way, you could maximize your real-candy swag potential by avoiding the houses with popcorn balls and bags of Doritos…
So, just in time for trick or treat 2010, I bring you trick or treat symbols:
