Maureen and I had lunch at The Sylvia yesterday and she was especially celebrating the last fireworks that will take place Saturday. The fireworks do get "old" for people who have been living in the West End for many years. More and more road closures and problems now that they have added all sorts of "cabanas" and places where food and drink is served. She couldn't even get out of the West End Wednesday morning because of all the trucks making deliveries for all these new food events!
They do give pleasure to a lot of people and we enjoyed having our magnificent view of them when we were on Beach Avenue but we are not missing being basically imprisioned on those days when they take place.
