I hear nothing bad ever happens in Detroit that night.
Never heard of it here. Halloween is now calm in these parts also.

Hehe. My first ever trip to Detroit was on the 30th after dark. I bet you could see a dozen different fires from the air.
I remember the hearing about the fires, in Detroit I think 10/30 is called devils night.
njbb,
When I was growing up we preferred that night over Halloween. We were bad, eggs, toilet paper,ketchup, our favorite was dry soap powder on cars, imagine the bubbles the next day in the driveways! If we got caught we were told to go home, now most likely you will be in juvenile court!
I told my kids while growing up to not participate if asked on that night, I doubt they ever listened.

I'm in North Texas now and nothing here. I grew up in Michigan. It was called Devils Night. As a kid it was pretty much soaping windows on cars. Pretty harmless. It's calmed down in Detroit quite a bit. It's not like Vancouver at least. 
Years ago when we were kids, mischief night was a big deal. Not so much any more. Being a home and property owner, I'm kind of glad.
