Fireworks????

[granola-gurl.livejournal.com]

I was woken up last night by a very short (but bright and beautiful!) firework display.  They were likely in the direction of Trum Field.  I looked at the clock since it seems kinda late and it was midnight.  Did anyone else hear/see them?  Was I hallucinating?

I heard and saw them too, around midnight. From where I live on Day Street, I thought they were coming from the direction of Hodgkins Park. I called 911, because this is dangerous during hot, dry, drought conditions.

Okay, glad to know that I am not going crazy! At first I thought that it might just be my neighbors playing around, but when I saw that they were big firework show type stuff I imagine that someone can't simply do this sort of display from their backyard (unless I am totally out of the loop in terms of current firework technology).

I heard them too, from considerably farther away, and I saw a local friend much closer to the noise complained about it on FB.

I also heard something around midnight, that sounded like it was coming from my neighborhood in Teele Square.

I saw them too and at midnight. They were somewhere a little south of teele towards davis but hard to say exactly how far. They did seem nicer than most backyard fireworks but I can't imagine any official fireworks was going on then.

I believe they were set off in the Tufts parking lot on Holland. Definitely not official. Dangerous and obnoxious.

I'm a little late to this discussion, but I actually saw these fireworks from my window. They were actually the big "burst of color" type of fireworks, as opposed to a firecracker. I live on a side street off of Teele Square and the fireworks looked to me to be bursting from the direction of the Tufts campus. Very disturbing, given the size of these fireworks and the dry weather. They were really big (not professional-level big, but high up enough so I could see them above the rooftops.)
