Northville Is In Halloween Mode – Meltdown
My kids are past the Trick R’ Treating days, but Northville was always our favorite place to go haunting. On Halloween they close most of the town to cars between 6 – 8pm for the kids to collect scary goodies. Once the siren fires off from the fire department, it’s go time!
Most of the houses participate, some much more than others. I recall one house would have a full-fledged play every year. It was crazy! The play would last 8 – 10 minutes, they would take a break, then do it all over again. One year it was the Ed Skellington show, a takeoff on the old Ed Sullivan show. Very clever!
The wife and I decided to take in Northville on Sunday night. Since the pandemic, they’ve closed some of the streets and there remain areas were you can walk through the streets to other restaurants and bars. The streets are now adorned with skeletons decorated for various local businesses. Check it out if you can.

Meltdown started on the mighty WRIF on the evening of Halloween, 1995. Technically, his first on-air shift was the morning of November 1st. Moving to the Motor City from Buffalo, N.Y., he has built a career and family. Over his almost three-decade stint at RIFF, he's had the privilege to work with some of the biggest personalities in Detroit radio history. He boasts of being just the second-afternoon drive jock in the station's illustrious 53-year history.
Along with his love for rock music and attending concerts, he's also an avid Harley-Davidson enthusiast and hockey player. He plays year-round and manages to squeeze in a few charity games throughout the year. Meltdown writes about the Detroit Red Wings, rock music, and Detroit concert venues.
