This is Anoka, a town about 20 miles north of Minneapolis, where lawns crunch with fallen leaves and jack-o'-lanterns glow on porches. Every autumn the whole community throws itself into Halloween, and Anoka proudly calls itself the Halloween Capital of the World.  \nThat glowing October night did not happen by accident, because Anoka had a real problem to solve. Back then, Halloween meant pranks, and mischievous kids would tip over outhouses, soap windows, and let cows loose to wander the streets. Instead of getting angry, the town's leaders came up with a clever idea: give the children something better to do.  \nTheir better idea turned into one of the first city-wide Halloween parties in the entire United States. In 1920, Anoka held a big parade with costumes, marching bands, and bonfires, followed by treats for every child who came. The plan worked, and instead of causing trouble, kids were too busy having fun to soap a single window.  \nHaving fun beat causing trouble, so the celebration returned year after year and grew bigger each time. By the 1930s people were calling Anoka the Halloween Capital of the World, and many people say the town's title was even noted in the records of the United States Congress. Today the fun stretches across several weeks, with parades, costume contests, a house-decorating competition, and a famous run called the Gray Ghost.  \nThose weeks of contests and parades all grew from one simple choice a small town made long ago. Can you imagine a whole city agreeing to solve a problem with a party instead of punishment? That is exactly what Anoka did more than 100 years ago, and its lit-up streets have been proving that a good idea never goes out of style ever since.  \nThe Halloween Capital of the World  \nName:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) Where is Anoka located?\u003Cbr>A.
