If you grew up on the west coast, I think you never quite grow accustomed to the east coast thing where every neighborhood sounds like it’s having a moderately disorganized battle each evening for a week around the 4th of July.
I can’t speak to the west coast, never lived there. But the east coast mind simply cannot comprehend the amount of fireworks you can buy in Wisconsin for like $5.
Maybe it's different now but I don't even remember anyone having fireworks in suburban PA growing up. Any fireworks I saw were at professional displays. We had sparklers and those popper things and those snakes that came out of the little puck.
Maybe once a year one dude on our block would drive to a different state and come back with like...one mortar firework and the whole street would be very excited to see it go but I don't think the east coast can claim firework superiority lol
Yeah it HEAVILY depends on where you live, I just had no idea how massive the culture was here for doing tons of massive illegal fireworks shows all the time.
Arizona is very different. It's the Somme outside during July 4th and New Years. Just constant drumfire air fireworks from every neighborhood near me from 8pm 1am.
