One of the Best Seats in Town
I had been pondering going to the Flats to catch the fireworks this evening, but I wound up going out for a run and starting a dinner (chili, 1.5-hour prep time) later than would allow such. Then, as I was starting to do dishes around 9:30, and heard some explosions, I decided to run out and see what I could see.
For those who haven't been to my place, there's a parking garage practically right across the street. I decided to take the elevator up to the top deck on the thought that I could have a decent view towards downtown. And then some! There were fireworks being set off all along the eastern Cleveland shoreline, plus several of the suburbs and even from a street just around the corner from me. Admittedly, most were pretty far away, and there were a few taller buildings in the way of some, but it was still almost 360 degrees of fireworks!
On an amusing note, one of the other people up there (about a dozen of us) wondered if we were possibly seeing a light show from across the lake. My first thought was "no, that would be too far away." I'm almost ashamed to admit it took me another minute to also realize "oh, wait, their fireworks would have been on Sunday!"
