I second Roberta Englund's post. Who's brainchild was it to legalize

I completely agree with Ms. Beakers' evaluation of people's situation on
the northside, having been there and still there to a certain extent on
the southside. The usual has been interrupted for a minute by the Lake
St. Repaving Project. (I was hoping this would happen, since we have to
put up with the dust, noise, and strangeness of such a major project.)
After dinner at Passage to India, a friend and I drove back to Central
Neighborhood and parked at the corner of 33rd and Park to watch the
Powderhorn Park display. When it was over, we tootled around and saw
some kids behaving very responsibly and supervisedly with sparklers and
rockets. After parking across from my house, we sat on the front steps
and watched an hour-long display put on by one of the neighbors across
in Phillips behind the Goodyear Tire shop. It was awesome. They didn't
go as high, but they went often and prolongedly. What a nice gift to the
area that person gave. He must have spent a bundle too, since it lasted
an hour.
There were probably gunshots among the rockets red glare, but I ignored
them since I could do nothing about it at the moment and just had a
peaceful, rocket noise and sight filled hour on my own front porch. What
a gift.
