Does Fairmount have "Whitewheen," a separate Halloween for white kids? According to Temple sociologist Sherri Grasmuck, Fairmount was once a racially-charged neighborhood. She conducted field research in the neighborhood for a 2005 book on class and race in boys' baseball. "Yes, Whiteween exists, or existed historically," Grasmuck said. "People talk about it, but it's a complicated kind of thing. I don't know whether it's still going on right now. I don't know if people use that phrase."
