That's what I remember about going to the fireworks. Once we went to the Detroit fireworks. Had our blanket all spread out in a sea of other blankets along the waterfront all ready for the fireworks. As the evening went on, more and more people piled into the area and before we knew it people were walking on the blankets to try to get to the front stepping on children. We got up and got out of there. Later we heard there was a shooting nearby.
It didn't give us the warm fuzzy fireworks feeling. Now we skip the fireworks, but normally if you look out on the horizon on the 4th, you can see fireworks going off somewhere in the distance. That's close enough for me. I'll take the pina colada on the patio any day.
