Fireworks Tomorrow Night

There may be a good reason for fireworks on a weekday night just as many people begin the trek towards a modicum of shut-eye. Who approves such pyrotechnics? Who benefits? Who thought this through?

We lay people can, too, have the same privileged access to fireworks alerts as Ms. Stanton by signing up to receive Notify NYC emails. Sorry, I don’t remember the exact steps to doing this…Google it.

Also, come on neighbors, let’s not be so grouchy and stuffy that we start bah-humbugging fireworks displays across the harbor. Brooklyn Heights is the most lovely neighborhood in the metro region, let’s try to be a part of that truth. It’s not like they’re having a Nickelback concert in front of Borough Hall.

To those of you who are wondering, my guess is that this is a privately sponsored display commemorating some esoteric achievement or anniversary or other, as is wont to happen from time to time. I could be wrong of course, and welcome input from anyone with more information.
