The last Longwood Gardens fireworks of the season may have had the best grand finale ever. As regular readers know, we, like many others, watch the fireworks from "the cheap seats": the parking lot of the former Superfresh. True, you don't get to see the fountain displays, but you can hear the music and see the majority of the fireworks, and you can't beat the cost.
The musical theme of the Sept. 29 show was "disco" (what's not to like!), with highlights like "Boogie Shoes," "Stayin' Alive," "Lady Marmalade," "I Will Survive," and "Shining Star," with Donna Summer's "Last Dance" to wrap up the evening. I have in my notes that some of the fireworks reminded me of the lighted dance floor in "Saturday Night Fever," ET's glowing fingertip, and graceful downward-facing Datura flowers.
On our way home from the fireworks we saw dozens of cars with New Jersey and New York tags headed south on Newark Road after leaving Plantation Field, where that evening there was another of the popular Lantern Launches.
