That's what I like to hear about my fellow Pittsburghers. I'm originally from the Pittsburgh area, but not find myself across the state near Philadelphia.
BTW, I just like to point out that there's an 'h' at the end of Pittsburgh. We Pittsburghers fought harrd to keep that h, so I make sure anybody not from the region knows how to spell it
(Back in the early 1900s, the USPS decided to standardize town names across the nation. This meant that Pittsburgh's h was dropped. The residents of 'Pittsburg' got all up in arms, and after a couple of years the h was restored.)
Probably thinking how sad it is that one of the bigger holidays in Britian is based on anti-Catholicism.Originally posted by Marcus Green:

Protestants may well have done that but that is not the source of trick-or-treating. It can be traced back to the time of the Druids. During the Middle Ages, people would dress in costumes to scare evil spirits away from your house if you gave them a treat.Originally posted by Richard Hawkes:
Trick-or-treating started because of the Guy Fawkes plot. In celebration at the foiling of the gunpowder-plot, Protestants used to turn up at Catholic homes demanding food or they'd be tricked - persecuted probably.
