All I remember of that day was shooting of fireworks from dawn to midnight and the noise was deafening. Maybe if we were lucky, a family member who was lucky enough to have a house would invite us over for a BBQ, just to get away from the noise.

Guess I always wanted to live or experience small town living, but that never happened.

Happy 4th and Buggy, that was a great post.
Aw c'mon, 4th of July in the BX wasn't all bad. All of us kids got sparklers to burn ourselves with, then my cousin taught us how to amuse ourselves by going up to the roof and throwing them.
