Minnesota City Named Among Best For Halloween Lovers
I don't know about you but I am already sad that October is almost over! It is the best month of the year in my opinion and I know when November first rolls around, I am going to be bummed.
It finally feels like fall in the Northland and there really are so many Halloween activities you can do right here in northern Minnesota.

Of course, we have the famous Haunted Ship. It's so popular that popular country star Walker Hayes even took his family and tour opener along with him when he went after the show to check it out.
There's also the Haunted Shack, the Haunted Forest, Hellwig Hollow and so many more. Halloween season is the best in Duluth - but apparently, just a little bit better in another Minnesota city. That's according to a new list.

They crafted this list by looking at places where Halloween is celebrated year-round. Of course, having the spooky vibe also helps. Think old buildings, moss and cobblestone streets.
Minnesota City Named Among Best Places For Halloween Lovers
Anoka has been named one of the thirteen best places for Halloween lovers! The city came in at number three. I went a few months ago and there is a huge mural dubbing it the 'Halloween Capital Of The World' so it makes sense.

You may already know the history of Anoka but if you're not sure why it made the top three here, Zillow elaborates, writing:
Proudly called the "Halloween Capital of the World," Anoka has hosted parades and festivities since 1920. Beyond the pumpkins, it's a family-friendly town with affordable homes and a warm Midwestern welcome.
Zillow also shared the average home price and how much people pay in rent on average. While the latter wasn't given, Zillow says the average home price is about $325,314. That's not too spooky!
