First of all, the loud noises Secondly, it's purely a visual thing
What now?
His point is that most people don't go to listen to fireworks, they go to SEE fireworks, OP is missing the community aspect of it though.
Community? People showing up at 7 am to mark their territory with chairs and blankets, rubbish everywhere, cars parked all over the place and insane traffic?
Where do you live where people are getting to a spot at 7a for 9:15p fireworks?
South Lake Tahoe
My boss is from there, so yup that would be a place where people gather it stupid o’clock in the morning for things that are happening that night
