My front porch in Grandview worked out well.

I just don't understand why it was held tonight. The traffic in downtown after work was insane . . . again. Why not do it on Saturday or Sunday and not have to rush hour traffic issue?

Fireworks companies charge a shitload more to actually do it on the 4th.
This is Ohio, so no one can afford that.

What confuses me is why tonight and not Saturday? At least get it close to the 4th as possible. I get doing it on Saturday the 3rd as opposed to the 4th because many people still have to work on Monday the 5th, and the price thing for doing it the 4th, but why the 2nd?

This is why I hate that city.

My guess would be because many of the smaller communities will be having theirs on Saturday, and they might not have wanted to conflict with those?

A fireworks show that is not on the 4th is not the best.

Looked like a good display this year on TV where the best place to watch it is. It would be better if there were more bathrooms, ya gots to be careful where you hang it out due to all the kids about.
