Etiquette for Bootleg Backyard Fireworks


 Happy Fourth of July weekend . In regards  to backyard fireworks, if the explosives used  in the rocket's red glare or the bombs bursting in air are strong enough to annoy the neighbors, then they a probably illegal in Michigan. For those who can't resist the lure of illicit bootleg backyard fireworks, a few etiquette tips might be in order. Be safe and be a good neighbor. Sound carries. A critical eye will note that in the opening frames of the  above video, it is obvious the that movie is shot through a closed window and a screen. Bad cinematic form but an indication of how loud the sound is outside. If you are turning the neighborhood  into a war zone please tell all concerned, when it will happen and for how long.  Be sensitive to pets. Also remember some people have to work on Monday and for that matter Tuesday.
 Looking for all out family fun ?
Don't forget the City of Clawson. Going all out for the fourth of July has been a Clawson tradition since 1933. Activities include a parade, amusement rides, arts and crafts,  and of course a fireworks show happening tommorow in Clawson.
