Transit, Bridge, and Building Halloween Costumes from San Francisco

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, "These 26 people nailed the San Francisco-themed Halloween costume":

"This year, she wants to be the Painted Ladies and we’re going to do it with color changing LEDs so we just have to build one building, not 6!"

(the cousin of a neighbor made a popcorn box equivalent something like this and I thought that was impressive...)

As many other parents on the street tonight guessed, one parent is in fact an architect — in this case, Dad." —The Poop blog, 2011

When he saw it, he wanted me to put wheels on it to make it into a toy, but we convinced him to wear it for a little while so we could at least take a picture." —The Poop blog, 2011

MUNI J-Church: Mother Tammy, who for the purposes of this contest goes by "Elle Taraval," fulfilled every child's dream of being a Muni train. "My son has been obsessed with all forms of transport since he figured out things move," she writes. "We ride the Muni daily and it just made sense to whip up the J-church. He is passing out homemade bus transfers on Halloween, too. Hopefully he'll be on time."
