General Discussion

Michigan folks would drive down to Indiana to load up on fireworks which were illegal here,
not just firecrackers, but bigger stuff...

Much later, circa 2014 or so, practically everything had been legalized here....
and for about two weeks surrounding one 4th of July, our neighborhood sounded like a 'war zone'---
and I mean that quite literally. Felt like I was under siege myself!

we're not talking "firecrackers", we're talking fireworks "artillery shells"
going off until almost 2 AM, well before the fourth, so frequently
that our dog could not "do his business",
and the Vietnam vet down the street had PTSD re-inflicted

It was so bad that we called the police, who said they could not do anything
unless they caught someone in the act of violating noise ordinances after decent hours...

Later that year the city government wrote new ordinances, severely limiting the windows of time
when people could legally use such fireworks. Seems to have been effective.
