Where To Watch July 4th Fireworks: The Burbs
In a letter to Abigail Adams, John Adams wrote that Independence Day should be commemorated "with pomp and parade, with shews, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other." So what was he talking about? We're thinking fireworks! Here's where to watch the night sky light up in the suburbs.
