Regular readers know that we watch the Longwood fireworks for free from the parking lot of the Shoppes at Longwood Village on Route 1, and the practice seems to be catching on: I've never seen the parking lot as full as it was on Wednesday, July 3. Even the Young Relative and his UHS friends showed up (so you just know it was the happening place to be). I'm told that the neighboring Walmart parking lot was also jammed with spectators.
A couple I know have found what they consider a perfect spot to view the fireworks but, casting a certain chill on our friendship, they steadfastly refuse to share the location.
The half-hour display was terrific, as always. My brother and I were intrigued by the ferning, branching fireworks and, per usual, are suckers for the super-loud ones.
Now, if only the shopping center management would kill the bright parking-lot lights during the fireworks, we'd be very grateful and our photos would be much improved.
