What Chicago is talking about this week:
Change is inevitable, even with holiday traditions. This 4th of July, the city moved its regular July 3rd fireworks show (which it had been doing for 35 years) to three separate simultaneous displays over the lake in the north, central and south parts of the city. The thought -- save money by making three smaller ones instead of one big one -- plus cut back on violence and traffic headaches, particularly as influenced by the Taste. But with the demographics of the city, the effect was practically segregated shows. Thomas Daley Jefferson: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: all fireworks shows are created equal (but all viewing parties may not be)."
