The weekend came and went - and now so have out-of-town visitors - but the City of Athens still has a lot of work ahead.
Athens Mayor Paul Wiehl says the costs for the weekend are somewhere near 49,000 dollars, but he expects that number to go up.
He says two city departments have yet to report their expenses - including the over-time for the streets department.
Wiehl also said businesses may not have made as much money as they hoped.

14:12 I don't think a lot of the vendors made as much money as they thought - could be the cold - could be the economy - I'm not sure. That's all anecdotal. All in all, it looked like the same old Halloween. 14:26

:33 I was walking back to my house and I saw like the burning remains in the yard next door, not burning it was just the remains. All my friends were freaking out because I guess two of my friends got arrested for going down here and standing by it. Like ten cops came and pulled in our front yard. :49
TRACK:
Despite the couch burning incident - crime this halloween wasn't much different from last year.

and Liquor enforcement arrested 61 people on Friday and 51 people on Saturday.
There were 45 medical emergency responses - comparable to last year's 44.>

Mayor Wiehl says there won't be any big differences in next year's Halloween - but the students I talked to said they're going to be prepared next time there is a big party in Athens and bring their furniture indoors to avoid any problems.
