The low-rise jeans and silver velour tracksuits are catching every flash of neon as the trick-or-treaters swarm the sidewalk, their Razor Scooters whirring like a fleet of tiny jets. I catch a framing shot of a girl in a trucker hat checking her Nokia 3310, the backlight glowing radioactive green against the darkening Jersey sky.
A red-faced dad pulls his SUV away from the pump, grumbling about how $1.51 a gallon is a total highway robbery for a Tuesday night. He looks like a real outdoor Survivor, but tonight he’s just another dad in the suburbs, ignored while Aguilera’s voice blares from a nearby boombox.
