my town isnt exactly small, 175,000 people and its on the beach, in the number 1 tourist county in california. we have no excuse (or should i say, our city has no excuse) for canceling our fireworks.
20miles south in san diego, they had a QUAD show (overclocked too!). up and down the coast of san diego you could see all 4 shows going at the same time. seaworld had their show, lego land had their show, del mar (race track) had their show, count them up.....oceanside.....no show? wtf? we are the 3rd largest city in the county of 4 million people. no excuse for not having the money, just none.
i could see if this was "bad word ending in 'ing' " kansas, but there was a quarter million plus people here along the beaches in this city waiting for fireworks....only to find out they didnt drive south far enough.
you think these people will come back next year? **** no. this town lost alot of respect today from out-of-towners. it let so many people down, and the local buisnesses.
next year, these people will go elsewhere to see a nice fireworks display.
things to remember,.....people come from all over the united states just to walk part of this 30mile span of beaches in san diego county, you cant be letting them down.....they will not come back.
