Fourth of July 1999 – Stone Arch Bridge


I am pissed, but she is furious, since it missed her baby by inches. The crowd, led by the mom, but including everyone else around starts yelling at the guy, basically asking the rhetorical question “what the hell is wrong with you? Get out.”. He stands there unfazed as a lynch mob begins to form, and he sort of shrugs. The yelling gets louder. His lady whispers to him to the effect that they better leave, and she escorts him off the bridge.
The riot was averted, and the real fireworks proceeded apace. They looked something like this:
I have not returned to fireworks at the Stone Arch Bridge, my preferred location is now Tower Hill, which is not nearly so close to the action, but let’s you see almost every firework display in the Metro area. Unfortunately the Hill is infested with mosquitos and smokers this time of year.
