Comebackkid Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 If you guys wanna see some fireworks go to whitehall on country club road there's a carnival for the kids and when the big mortors hit you feel it in you chest. RED WHITE BOOM was weak if I didn't have kids I would never go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Lee Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 I was right by cosi, literally under the fireworks. I had ash raining on me. This. I got plenty trashed afterwards, so all in all... a good night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Main3s Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 If you guys wanna see some fireworks go to whitehall on country club road there's a carnival for the kids and when the big mortors hit you feel it in you chest. RED WHITE BOOM was weak if I didn't have kids I would never go We use to go to the Whitehall ones when I was a kid. They didn't have it roped off very well and you would get hit with the mortor shells as they fell out of the sky. A few people got hurt pretty good back in the day. Aaahhh, good times!

Bigbird Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 This. I got plenty trashed afterwards, so all in all... a good night. This. Well not the ash part, but the trashed part. Actually saw Zach, Phil, and Mopar at Brothers. Was the best Red White and Boom ever for me...though the fireworks had very little to do with it haha.

DaddyBuiltRacing Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Went to Buckeye Lakes last night. Honestly outside of a show I saw in Cincy I would say they were the best I can remember seeing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyM3rC Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 I'm glad I didn't brave the traffic and crowds. I was dissapointed with the TV show even, I'd be pissed if I went down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tbutera2112 Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 we were at a camper in the parking lot at vets right under the fireworks...even those perfect seats werent enough to make up for the disappointment of the show that bourbon chicken stand is the shit though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sol740 Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Last time I went to RWB I caught up in the middle of a little gangfight trying to walk to the bathroom. Fucking worthless little shits flashing gangsigns back and forth, and a pretty good fight broke out and I had to push through crowds of people that were shoving and throwing punches. Oh, and I was carrying my 6 yr old sister trying to keep her from getting hurt. So that's the last time I'll ever be there. Hell I was in Times Square some years back and it was less tense.

Akula Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Best show I have ever seen was the day after we commissioned my submarine in Groton Ct. Is the the NYC guys, they move up the river the week after the NYC show. I was on a friends 3 mast sail boat, the show was really great. The guys on watch on the boat had a pretty good view too.

BloodRed Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 My wife got free tickets to watch them from Huntington Park. It wasn't bad spot to watch them from, but yeah the fireworks were pretty crappy comparied to previous years. We parked at Nationwide, and ended up taking us 2 hours to get home. I still don't know what the hold up was but I saw about 8 cops running toward the exit and a few meat wagons heading to and from that area. Oh well, saw a nice looking chick pissing in the parking lot between a few cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifford Automotive Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 The Fireworks in Philo Oh, that were put on by an individual lasted a little over an hour and blew RWB away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't bad spot to watch them from, but yeah the fireworks were pretty crappy comparied to previous years. This. I must be old because I enjoyed sitting in the quiet, non wannabe-thug infested, Huntington Park drinking $6.50 beers and watching the fireworks. It is a lot more pleasant than trying not to get shanked walking along the riverfront. However, the fireworks were lame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiji ST Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 UA's were MUCH better. Thankfully we stuck around the Post Office during RR&B, so getting home after the crappy fireworks was quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sciongirl Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Grove City's fireworks were actually REALLY good! and at Beulah Park, people were letting off their own fireworks after... which were really amazing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primera Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Fireworks :yawn: +1 I don't even bother w/ RWB anymore. The only reason I went in the past was to meet up with friends and drink. Now I just cut the fireworks part out and just hit up a bar away from all that shit. It's like going to Comfest. People get excited about it each year and all I hear from them after was "..it was alright". It's never worth the crowds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
