It's Halloween which for the youngsters (and the young at heart) means costumes, candy and tricks. But some of our Chicago youth will be denied one, and probably the best, of these three key Halloween ingredients: trick. Sadly access to eggs is severely limited. Why you ask? Some egg-headed enforcement.

After the "Great Egg War of 2006" Chicago and Evanston have instated the egg embargo asking shops to refuse the sale of eggs to our city's youth around the this time of Halloween. What could be the meaning behind such tyranny?

Howard Street, the legendary Chicago-Evanston line, was the place. 2006 was the year. Eggings were up as houses, businesses and cars dripped with yolky residue on the morning of Nov 1st. Two aldermen, Ann Rainey (alderwoman) of Evanston and Joe Moore of Chicago (didn't pass legislation) have asked store owners to halt the sale of eggs to minors. Last year saw a huge decrease in eggings.

But our slick city young have had a year to plan their destructive, trick-filled All-Hallow's-Eve. Will the tough law enforcement of our mean Chicago City streets prevail tonight? Or have our youth taken extra trips to Indian for the purchase of some these rare poultry products? Only twilight will tell.
