Before my stupid brain malfunction, my bf and I would go around to all the various fireworks displays in a 20+ mile radius from about June 28 to July 14. He also had a line on Class B fireworks and did a big show at his house, plus we helped with our town display. Now I get a migraine, sigh
Oh, I've also watched both NYC & Philly's from sailboats (different Fourths) and some really good non-Fourth shows in various places. I miss being able to watch them
When I was very young, the local pro soccer team (The Rowdies) always had a game on the 4th. Afterward, they'd open up the field for the fans to gather and sit and watch the fireworks and laser light show timed to music. That was impressive, and that was the last time I enjoyed fireworks.
