[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On Christmas Eve a bunch of people [b]decided to pretend it was the 4th of July[/b] and that New Hampshire Ave was the Potomac River. Professional grade fireworks were lit off all around Silver Spring, Takoma Park and Langley Park until 2am.

Were there other areas that were barraged with fireworks over the holiday week, and has anyone contacted PGPD and MCPD about preparing for another barrage on New Year's Eve?

Alcohol and fireworks are a lethal combination.[/quote]

????

I don't like it, and it's not legal, but nonetheless it's a fact that Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve are traditional holidays for fireworks.[/quote]

Not the PP. I understand the general reason, but there's a difference between planned fireworks celebrations and fireworks that continue for hours on end well into the night. It is unnerving for many people, including those who suffer from PTSD, not to mention pets.[b] It is one thing if you can plan on when the celebrations will be held, [/b]it is another thing to hear random explosions all night.

Plan on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve.

Yes, it's upsetting for many people and pets. :( [/quote]

When did Christmas Eve become a night for fireworks? Is this only a DMV thing or is it everywhere? [/quote]

It's a common thing in parts of Latin America and people from those places keep up the tradition in America. It's a thing for sure where I live (Silver Spring) for that reason, but I've never encountered it outside those communities.[/quote]

Yup. Oddly enough, one of the areas that decided to light up the night sky was at an apartment complex that put on a demonstration a few months ago, calling for a rent strike due a due to the pandemic induced lack of funds and living conditions.

Interesting how they bemoaned that they had no money to pay rent, but somehow had plenty of money to spend to set off fireworks for hours on end.

Oh, yeah. Fascinating.

Maybe move to Odenton or something?[/quote]

Odenton has even bigger fireworks lolz! [/quote]
