For the Halloween season, Staten Island OutLOUD looks at mystery and crime-solving in the 1920s, when The Great Gatsby takes place.  At that time, there were none of the advanced tools available today: No traffic cameras, no GPS, no DNA evidence,  etc.  How did police investigate the hit-and-run in Gatsby, or the smuggling & bond fraud by some of Jay Gatsby’s shady associates?  How do they investigate such crimes today?

For little detectives, we’ll stage a short walk outside where kids can hunt for clues, and maybe find a surprise or two.  Each child can have an evidence bag – A little Halloween seasonal fun for the kids while the adults talk about true-crime-solving.
