Given the history...

Okay, I admit it. I love fireworks. I always loved going to Thunder Over Louisville, the kick-off to the two week celebration for the Kentucky Derby. I love that I now live in a city that celebrates just about every event with fireworks at Navy Pier or over the Chicago River.

But, given Chicago's history with fire, you'd think they'd keep the fireworks away from the downtown area, no? But I submit this photo, albeit a bit blurry, as evidence this isn't the case. Let's just not tell Mrs. O'Leary's cow, okay? :)
