Glorious fireworks! From your neighbors. Be safe. Go watch professional fireworks displays around Lake Allatoona.

Planning to stay around the house over the 4th of July weekend to watch your neighbors shoot it out with newly legal fireworks this year?

If not, here’s a list of places where you can watch the professionals perform their pyrotechnic tricks.

The Fourth of July begins with a bang just after dark on Friday, July 3rd, in some places.  A few spots will blow the sky away night after night.

Have fun and please don’t blow your fingers off.

One more thing.  Please don’t freak out when traffic gets all clogged after the last big bang.  Everybody’s gonna be tired.  Everybody wants to just get home and go to bed.  You-know-who will be hungry and you-know-who will have to piddle.

Plan ahead and have fun.

We live in an imperfect but free country.  That’s worth celebrating.

Happy Birthday, America!  We love you!!

God bless the USA!
