maybe i'm thinking of something else then. but it use to be right around the lakefront and also navy pier. maybe navy pier is still around but not the one by the lakefront. right by buckingham and by the science museums.

Better than shooting it up in their veins.

Real Americans celebrate their country's independence by blowing up a small part of it.


“The Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America,” Adams wrote. “I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival…It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more.

John Adams...Merica

my brother is a pyro who has a stash of fireworks in his garage at all times

he really pussied out this year with his girlfriend throwing a Hamilton watching party with french and humans. While he is a giant vag, he did tell the boys to quietly raid the garage and we blew up a lot of shit in good american style

My golf buddy is in the legal fireworks business so I hope that he did well in his business over the 4th. Out where I live, there were a lot of people enjoying fireworks, legal and illegal. When I visited my family in the Seattle area, I was surprised that fireworks was sold legally in the state. Stuff that is illegal in this state and elsewhere. I thought of buying some and taking it back with us but since we weren't planning any family party over the 4th, decided against it.
