Were you close to any of the fireworks shows last night?

The Peak was clear this year so you could see them from downtown Springs.

1. Boston Common put on a great show for the early crowd and children.

My 3 year old was awestruck.

3. Our entire city turns into an illegal fireworks show.

It's bigger than Disneyland's and lasts a lot longer, hours longer...

It's not a big city like Manila, but a crazy number of people are launching full sized fireworks from big mortars, including some that rattle the windows and set off car alarms.

Manila fireworks:

5. Yes, they were going on for a couple hours in my neighborhood.

Oh, you mean "official" ones? No.

6. I don't remember New Year's fireworks in Colorado Springs,

but when I was a kid we used to watch the 4th of July ones from Rampart Range Road. They shot them off in town, though, not off Pike's Peak. I lived in C. Springs from 1955 to 1961 and then for a year outside of Woodland Park.
