Today is the annual Thunder over Louisville celebration,that pretty much starts the Kentucky Derby Festival,Thunder is the largest fireworks show in the US,and there is absolutely no way on earth I would attend this event,live 20 minutes from Louisville and have never attended,due to the large crowds,and now even more so because of the security risks and such,especially after what happened in Boston,you just never know when a copycat is going to crawl out of the woodwork,or the river,since Thunder is held over the Ohio River.
A funny bit of info,there is a bridge across the Ohio here that for years and years has been out of commission,in fact it didnt even have ramps up to it,just some sort of access for inspections and such,until this year they have renovated said bridge as a walking path between KY and IN,and opened it on my birthday in Feb.(Indiana doesn't even have their ramp finished yet,Kentuckys has been completed for a couple of years),BUT they every year have shut down a bridge that IS a major access between the states,and shoot the fireworks off from that bridge....
