What Halloween Decoration Best Describes Your Hometown New York

The countdown to Halloween has begun and much like getting ready for Christmas, it helps if you start planning early. The first of October is six weeks away and we Halloween enthusiasts are feeling the pressure to be ready with our giant yard decorations.

It was the Zombie Ships Captain that had me stumped until I thought about people who live in Kingston which is home to the Hudson River Maritime Museum.
