Romeoville of Village

I love fireworks shows — I’ll travel to 2 or 3 local area fireworks shows especially if they’re staggered on consequetive days. The last 2 years Romeoville’s fireworks have been outstanding. Tonight, I should have stayed home and given my dogs their flea bath! Yes, I left the house late, but still — should’ve (and have always been) able to find parking at a reasonable distance. We wound up sitting in the grass near a subdivision. Someone’s blasted SUV alarm went off 3 or 4 times during the show. And the fireworks only lasted 15 minutes! C’mon I know it’s tough times but tens of thousands of residents flock to the park for the fireworks, to be awed and forget how tough it is — if only for a brief time. But 15 minutes?!? Like I said — it’s tough times — but this fireworks show wasn’t worth the gas to get there. and one other issue — I know the police try their best to be fair when directing the traffic after such an event, but to wait almost 20 minutes while east bound traffic gets waved on, then northbound, then south bound, then pedestrians, then start the cycle back at east bound — totally leaving the west bound traffic sitting what felt like forever in this heat — especially with whining kids.
