Do you people use firecrackers on New Years, because my friend from Lousiana does and he says everyones does. But Ive never seen firecrackers on New Years in New York. Not even on tv.. all I see is the ball drop.
So do you guys use firecrackers on New Years? |

Hella' fireworks. Awesome stuff.Here in Vegas, there's always a big show of fireworks down at the strip which is televised, of course. Someday I'm going to be down at the strip and watch from there, instead of just on TV.  And I'm pretty sure you can buy fireworks here legally though. |

i see the ball drop pretty much when at home in nj, but when i'm in houston with family on new years we always have fireworks, and pretty much everyone on the block too its fun to seee other shows after finishing lighting up all of your own. plus its illegal to do light fireworks here.

There used to be a firework show every year at Great America that I can see from my window, but for some reason, those've stopped.
 Residential fireworks are illegal here, but they're not in Hawaii. So when I went there for holiday vacation, there were fireworks all over the place. QUOTE(rawr SOCK @ Dec 29 2006, 7:47 PM) ^ Palm trees? Ohh Chinese New Years! We have a big Chinese and Vietnamese community here, so around Chinese New Years, we always go to this one plaza to see a show and DAMN those firecracks can break your ears. But they're cool anyway. And yeah, of course it's illegal, but people do it anyways.. CHINESE NEW YEARSSS!! :D Many, many firecrackers. But I think on New Years, they have fireworks after the ball drop.
