Hi from Philly PA

[Chubbles]

Hi. I'm new here. I've been lurking in the forum and fireworks internet sites for an education, but I thought I'd join up. Since PA legalized the good stuff, my neighborhood organized every July 4 (and other holidays) at our local playground. I've spent a ton of money at Intergalactic Fireworks (20 minutes away) in an effort to stockpile. I'm concentrating on artillery shells. I got my start in fireworks when I was a kid. People sold them at school (I used my lunch money) and in the neighborhood. I'm kinda middle aged so it's been a while.

I look forward to learning and sharing info and resources with you guys. I use a cell phone to post. My family Monopolizes the computer. Sorry for typos. IMO, Android autocorrect is pure evil.

Welcome to PyroTalk! Where in Philly? I'm in the NE.

[Chubbles]

Thanks!

I live in the far northeast, near the Roosevelt Blvd and Red Lion Rd: about 5 minutes from where you can buy soda and actually afford it (no city tax).

[PyroManiacs]

Im right around Frankford and Academy.

[Chubbles]

Yup, you're close. I live near a playground where the neighborhood likes to get together and really celebrate July 4th. We like to celebrate the birth of our country by blowing up a small part of it (Simpsons reference). lol

That is awesome that your playground/park allows for this as most don't.
And welcome to pyrotalk! Central Pa here - about 35 miles from State College - we own Kneppy's Fireworks. If ever out this way - stop by.

We actually still need a permit to legally shoot 1.4 within the city, lol. The authorities have stated before that they are no longer taking fireworks complaint calls on the holidays as well, so... ;)

Ah Philly. The land of brotherly shove! Do you guys still have TV commercials for that azz-clown Allen Rothenberg "Thee Philadelphia lawyer?" Seemed like he was on every other commercial when we lived in Dover. Amazingly annoying man. Anyway...

Welcome to the forums!!

[Chubbles]

Yes, he's"the injury lawyer".

I drove in NYC and Philly. In Philly, we will let you merge. In NYC, they'll take your life first.

I was in Manhattan back in 1980 and again back in 2012. Stayed for a week each time. I didn't see much difference between the 2 trips. The place was just as busy and dirty and obnoxious. Wouldn't break my heart if I never set foot there again.
