MAPLEWOOD, NJ — Kids still got to hunt for Easter eggs in Maplewood, and parents got to ogle the Hilton neighborhood's historic housing stock, thanks to some eager families earlier this month.

The "window egg hunt" took place on April 8 through 12 in the Hilton neighborhood. According to Morgan Triska, more than 50 families participated.

Families participated safely from their cars, allowing their kids to pick out the eggs in the windows while still social distancing amid the spread of coronavirus.
