Happy 4th everyone! Who all will be shooting off fireworks or attending a celebration? I will be attending my city's firework display.

Happy 4th! I'm gonna see the fireworks by the Ocean City boardwalk, always a local favorite! Anyone have plans for this evening?

Hope you all have a nice 4th.  Celebrated the 4th/my birthday by camping this weekend.  Unfortunately, I have an exam tomorrow so I'll spend my day in a coffee shop studying, and since news never stops, I'll be working tonight.  Saw some neat fireworks last night, though.

Enjoy the day!

I'm certainly not going to any firework shows with this coming at us at a snail pace. :itsok:

For those of you who may know...what is it about the NYC and Atlantic City fireworks shows that make them ranked #1 and #2 in the nation? :dunno:

Just a shot in the dark, but I guess it would be the presentation. Like the way the fireworks display is coordinated, music performances, etc.

I was in AC a halfanhour ago, the display was epic, because we have the casinos and ocean providing a picturesque background along with the fireworks illuminating

That does sound nice. :) The ones in Addison, TX (a suburb north of Dallas) are ranked #3 in the nation. I've never been and don't think they are over water, so I wonder what makes them so special. :dunno:

Happy (Post) 4th of July!

Last night I saw one heck of a great fireworks show where I live in Irving, TX. Instead of watching it from my neighborhood, I got closer to the action. From what I was told, it's much better than last year's.
