Go back to the totally awesome '80s this weekend [things to do]
"Back to the '80s," an area premiere, opens Friday, Nov. 6, for three weekends in Kettering. The retro show is an account of 1989 high school senior class, as recalled by a man in his 30s. Unrequited love, popularity (and its opposite), a debate about CDs replacing cassette tapes, student elections, a stolen speech, new kids in school and an English teacher in a magazine centerfold are among the plot lines. There are 20 songs, including "Footloose," "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" and "You Give Love a Bad Name." Like, totally awesome! » More

Good morning. Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside. Remember that there is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving. Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself. I am from Kyrgyzstan and too poorly know English, please tell me right I wrote the following sentence: “Health overhaul means big medicare changes.”
Regards :) Virgil.

Best locally is City of Dayton on July 3. But you need to be in a location that is a bit elevated because there is a part that is low and hard to see but I applaud the effort. The best I have ever seen has to be Chicago’s at the Taste of Chicago. Shot off Navy Pier WOW!!! The show was spectacular but the traffic leaving the area was a horrific nightmare.

Curious, Erika, did you get a lot of the fallout ashes and such all over you at last year’s riverscape fireworks? I was at the main stage for CityFolk and I sure did. Maybe it is because, as you said, I was too close.
Kettering’s fireworks are great, as are the ones at King’s island. We leave the park and find a place within distance to stop and watch to avoid all the traffic leaving.

Last year Fourth of July celebration at Riverscape was ok. The fireworks were to close and then by the end of the show you couldn’t see the display because of the smoke, maybe I was to close.

I’m not all that big a fan of any of the local fireworks displays because they all tend to ‘bunch up’ the fireworks into a single spot in the sky.
I suspect it’s because either the people who create them, don’t watch them, or rules require space around them on the ground, and there isn’t that much space around here, but whatever it is, it’s too bad.
When you have two, three or more fireworks explode in the same spot, it dilutes them all.
