Not so Happy 4th
I just returned home tonight, on the Fourth of July, from my local fireworks show in downtown Edmonds. I have to say, I’m not very impressed. Yes, some things are personal preference, such as the change in bands from the band they’ve had every year since I remember, but others…
How about the cops doing flagging flagging everyone DEEPER into downtown when you’re trying to leave? And ignoring the people right down the street illegally lighting off fireworks (fireworks of any kind are illegal in Edmonds. Apparently, even those little party poppers bottle thingies are). Oh, and let’s not even mention the fireworks from the show running across the ground into the crowd, and no emergency response in sight. Oh, they went out, of course, since the screams of terror didn’t last long.
I most likely won’t be returning.
