Halloween on Beach Drive

We spied this bone-chilling house on the 4800 block of Beach Drive the other day.

With Halloween just a few days away, it would be spooktacular to share photos of your haunted Beach Drive homes, ghoulish carved pumpkins and spooky pets dressed in costumes on the blog.  Email us your photos before Halloween!

Giant Slugs Invade Beach Drive

These photos were recently submitted of ginormous slugs invading homes on Beach Drive leaving a devastating trail behind them.

 
 

We have no idea if this phenomenom is caused by El Nino, all the windy weather or the pending snow.  You may want to get your giant salt shakers ready just in case.

Keep safe!

Halloween Happenings on Beach Drive

There's a slight chill in the air signally that Halloween will soon be here.  We've noticed some very spooky occurrences and some neighborhood homes including mummies hanging from play-sets and an abundance of orange spiderwebs.   Do you have a scary looking home this Halloween?  Please send us your photos to so we can share them here (plus then you won't have to wonder who the creepy blogger is taking photos of your home).   You can send an email (address in the upper right corner) or share on our Facebook Group page or the Community Forums.

You can also join in on Beach Drive Blog's virtual pumpkin carving and Halloween costume contest for Beach Drive and neighbors.   Submit your photos for the contest by Saturday, October 30, 2010 to make sure they're in time to be viewed by our ghoulish judges with winners announced on Halloween.
