well, this is Lakewood, which is a small, independent and very traditionally American city on the edge of LA county - we are one of the only cities in the area that allows fireworks on the fourth of July, and it's glorious. a lot of vets, a lot of flags... there's a guy who drives an old WWII era army jeep with the the machine gun still mounted on the back and a giant American flag. Lakewood is comfy.
This challenges my perception that only shitty things come out of la county...and I'm ok with that.
Such a good story! Happy Birthday LT!

The rest of LA county has fireworks on the 4th in an equally American way: in open defiance of unjust laws.
haha you right about that - "bombs bursting in air" throughout the southland in the week or two leading up to the 4th...
