Those who live around Columbus or like to travel are you going to attend to see a great fireworks show?(Tues July, 3rd). Myself I like to watch it on tv, I hate to deal with the traffic and the heat during the day.
 
I went a bit when I was younger, last few years I have gotten out of it. I will probably have to go again this year. Although, I found out today that I broke my foot on Friday... Maybe that will get me out of it :wink:

Like you I can't stand dealing with all the people and traffic and stuff. Even when I was younger, it was more of a trim hunt than really wanting to be down there.

Same here... I'll check out one of the suburb shows on the 4th though. There was a show at the Hoover Reservoir last night that the wife and I could see (mostly) from our house. :)

We will probably go down to the Maumee river in the cool of the evening and watch the Perrrysburg/Maumee display.
Maybe, ... if the wife forces me too.
She has been known to say stuff like "no see the boom boom , no get any boom boom" :biggrin:

You should try talking to them, instead of just staring and drooling. :biggrin:

To CCI, they are all just images on the computer, or future amateur porn stars.


Personally, I hate the crowds of Red, White and Boom!, or any fireworks display for that matter. I just hate crowds period. Unless I'm at Ohio Stadium. :biggrin:

Living on the East River I get to see all four barges for the NYC display from my roofdeck (and huge party that is really gonna get me in trouble this year, I know it. . .)

About Red White and Boom, and fireworks in general in Columbus: shortly after my move to Boston it was time to celebrate our nation's independence. Yay! So I was standing in the reception area at my office and I politely asked those about what day the fireworks were going to be held on.

My responses were incredulous looks, the occasional blink, and finally a disgusted and confused, "the fourth??"

Okay, I felt stupid. Looking back, does anyone else think that it is silly how some cities just make it any old day? Is the meaning less? Is it just a ticky-tack version of the real thing or is it no big deal, different day, same story?
