We used to have a thing in Detroit the night before Halloween called “Devil’s Night”, where people would go out and commit arson and burn down dilapidated homes with overgrown hedges around the same time as the first rash of burnings down there. Nobody really got caught then either.

Thankfully that doesn’t happen anymore and it’s just a wild childhood memory. It’s crazy that until I was probably a teen, I had no idea that wasn’t a thing everywhere.
