Independence Day: Where To Watch Fireworks in San Diego


Wednesday is the 4th of July, and given recent events in our country and current leadership, I am not particularly compelled to believe there's anything to celebrate, so I wasn't gonna even bother posting this list this year, but I acknowledge that while Saudi women are celebrating the right to drive and Iranian women are rebelling by dancing in the streets, we are still not quite Gilead, though the treatment of migrants and refugees, family separations, and putting children in cages is absolutely reprehensible, shameful, and will forever be a black mark on our history. Tristan's list at SanDiego.org is still up, though I'm not sure it's been updated for 2018. Below is a little update of my list from last year.

The Big Bay Boom.

Remember this?
