I think the weeknights stink for having this. It used to be on a wed night as I recall.
Maybe this cuts down on the idiots as it forces some of the working types home early.
I love the Detroit fireworks but all the hassle to get down there and traffic leaving for a 1/2 hour show. The Saint Clair Shores and Mt Clemens shows [[while not as grand) seem to last about 45 mins. I think they are well worth it though.
Be happy they still have fireworks though! Just wait it wont be long till we can no longer afford them!
