As of this year I detest fireworks, they changed the laws in the fine state of Indiana, and now fireworks go off all the time, 24/7/365, and there is nothing you can do about it!

I’m not talking small fountains here, I’m talking huge mortar round shells.

Our towns are allowed to set limits for in ‘city limits use’ to 13 days, but no one is obeying the limits set by the city.

And you cannot tell the difference between a firework and gun fire!

Just what part, ma'am?As for fireworks, I am anti-fireworks since I had kids. Nothing irks me more than someone setting these off after I laid my child down for bed.I guess that means I am getting old?? :) How did I not know you were from IN? Just what part, ma’am?

When I lived in the city everyone caravaned down to the largest city park and enjoyed a spectacular fireworks show under the stars among other city dwellers. I stayed home this past new year's and nearly jumped out of my chair and ran to dial 911 when I heard explosions in the backyard. Surely the gas line had just gone up in flames. Turns out, no, it was only the neighbors behind us. The fireworks flamed and fell two streets away. Uh, I thought this was kinda illegal? Lucky it had rained the day before. We're in a drought now so I wonder what the lovely redneck neighbors will do tomorrow! And they say that downtown is dangerous. Its nothing compared to the burbs :) I moved to the suburbs for the first time in my life last year.
