I just got back from watching the fireworks. I don't go into Boston for the big fireworks and concert - too much congestion. Instead, I go to Newton's fireworks. I love it, as it is such a great cross-section of humanity in my diverse little city - Walking in and back, I heard Russian, Chinese, French, Spanish and a couple other languages I couldn't identify, as well as several different regional American accents. It's always fun.
