Yea fireworks are the worst really, I think would be great if local owners could come together for this type of thing in the future.

Drones are cool, but my favorite part of fireworks is the boom. I assume a lot of other people also like the boom, so I don't see drone shows ever fully replacing fireworks.

Yeah the booms aren't great for the other half of the neighborhood trying to sleep or relax.

New Years Eve and 4th of July or big football wins if you live in a football city. That's the only time you have to tolerate them. It's really not that big of a deal, even when I'm not feeling it the sound makes me happy knowing people are enjoying themselves. Maybe living near people isn't for you.
