Fire It Up

Not long after 11 p.m. on Thursday night, those just south of Yorkville got treated to an impromptu, spectacular, and very illegal fireworks show, launched by partygoers on a south-west facing balcony of one of the condos atop the Windsor Arms hotel at St. Thomas and Bloor. The first set of fireworks was visible from at least as far away as Museum station, where a small pack outside the subway watched, cheered, and shouted for more. They got it a few minutes later with a smaller set, and again a few minutes after that, with a last quick barrage of light and sound before the night skies went quiet again.

If the fireworks had been set off from a concealed place, nobody would be the wiser.

But since it's from a balcony and there's an owner attached to the premises, it won't be hard
to figure out who will get the talking-to.

How much more overt can one get?

There's a reason why you're supposed to set off fireworks in a wide open area, stupid drunk children.

At 10:15pm I and a few other pedestrians on Beverly street near Cecil were also treated to an impromptu and illegal fireworks display, when an asshole on the school roof decided to light a few up and fire them down at people on the sidewalk.
