The Wrap

Trick-or-treating in Lincoln Park came with a brain teaser this year. The Northern Expressions Art Collective turned Harrison Community Club into “The Crypt of the Creepy Crawlers,” where kids matched an author’s tombstone to the book it referenced, using clues in the decorations. Candy and hot drinks came afterward. Now that's a spooky reading list.
