I know we give each other shit and all but I would hate to see you light your drums on fire.

I can see them from my deck. We live off Plantation Street. For the past 2 years I've just had friends and family come over to see them. Some of the trees get in the way but you can see them and hear them..

In the past I've gone to Greenhill Golf Course.. if you sit just right, the fireworks reflect off of the pond.

If anyone goes though, I would reccomend gettign there early, bringing a cooler and park going down the hill, preferably at the 290 bridge.

oh, and as always: bugspray... mosquitos will ruin any good time.

I live very close to the intersection of Route 9 and Plantation, I can see them from my porch, and when my friends come over, they don't get stuck in traffic. My whole "hood has guests and even when i have people come over, i suggest they do so well before sunown.
Are they tonite or tomorrow??

and Duncan, Aren't a little concerend about what setting drums on fire will do to your property value??

A bunch of us are going to Vincent's to watch them. Not going till 8:30 so this might present a parking issue but whatever, its a holiday!

At around 9pm I will be in the parking lot behind the library getting my Worcester on. I may or may not have a sixer with me.

I may or may not have a pick up truck with painted statues of Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons in the back with me.

NEil and I watched them from our roof. Awesome view without having to deal with people. being on the top of a 6 story building we acutally watched the fireworks in like 4 towns last night.... Next year charging admission.

I ended up walking over to the old amtrak station off of Shrewsbury St. Really really great. It was like the fireworks were being shot right at me, if that makes sense.

There were people there but the lot wasn't packed. To add to the atmosphere someone was blasting what sounded like some sort of Bee Gee's greatest hits record from their van which made it a little hilarious and kind of perfect. A bum tried to bash forearms with me ala bash brothers era Oakland A's. Lots of people out walking around, lot's of vibrancy. Pretty awesome.

Last night I went to a friends BBQ in Amesbury. The house backs up to a giant old plot of farm land that was bought by the town to keep the land public when the farmer sold. The town shoots their fireworks off right over this land. The land is also surrounded by other homes that were having other 4th of July BBQ's. Most of these homes had their own fireworks. You could also see the fireworks shows of the neighboring towns from this vantage point. The farm land sits in a valley too so all of the sounds from the fireworks were echoing off the walls of the valley and kind of swirling around the land. Overall probably in the top 5 fireworks experiences of my life.
