Upside-Down T Neighborhood Association
For more than 40 years the 50 houses in the LaCorona-Palm St Upside-Down T Neighborhood Association have kept the fun of the “old” Halloween alive. This year was no different.
Neighbors Peggy Trottman and Danielle Romo canvassed the neighborhood north of Altadena Drive and West of Fair Oaks asking which neighbors would be home and giving out candy Sunday night. A map was then made with a small orange pumpkin identifying each household that had agreed to distribute candy, allowing neighbors to spend an hour walking their kids around the T to yell “trick or treat” and be rewarded with bags of candy.
One new neighbor, Austin Dubina, an industrial manufacturing engineer, integrated a Tesla Coil (pictured, a high capacity electrical transformer) into an electric light and music show to entertain, and sometimes scare, the kids as they walked door to door.
