This I saw being done in New York City's display, which was on 4 separate barges, although Chicago went as far as to split the fireworks into three littler sections of the lakefront, north, south and the 'loop' or 'downtown' area, which seemed to work out better than having 2 million people jammed on North Avenue beach and Grant Park, which used to be the 'drill' until last night.And whaddaya know?
Not one report of any crime or killings for once. Lets say this idea kept everyone in 'their little part of town' is about what it amounted to. And it worked better for everyone except the price I'm sure but hey, what the hell, why not 'blow it all' since Illinois is just about as bankrupt as a state can be, next to California, and I'll give you ONLY one guess what the common denominator besides bankruptcy is.
Gimme an "I"....gimme a couple 'L''s... you get the picture.
This was a pic from the North side show...
BTW, read about Illinois' 'pending collapse under liberal rule', just like every other major urban American city being run into the ground thanks to their 'kow towing' to illegal aliens and the 'welfare state. Either 'everyone starts pulling their weight' or this thing collapses soon for good.
Despite parking headaches and huge downtown crowds that had police turning would-be spectators away from Navy Pier by 7 p.m., many attending the revamped Chicago fireworks gave the new shows the thumbs up.
Holly Kidder, 21, of Hyde Park, awkwardly carried a small charcoal grill onto a CTA bus and then about two blocks to the 63rd Street Beach to enjoy the holiday with friends.
"I kind of like the fact that (the fireworks) are in different places," Kidder said. "It makes it nice for us so we don't have to go down to Grant Park."
Unlike past years, there were no fireworks in Grant Park. That spectacle has been replaced by the three smaller ones along the lake -- near Montrose Beach, around 63rd Street Beach and at Navy Pier.
