We have lived in the Oakridge Estates Subdivision for 48 years. This subdivision of 408 mid sized homes is populated by blue collar and professionals. The homes are modest from 1,100 to 3,000 square feet built in the 70's and 80's. Priced now from $380K @1/4 acre to over a $million in the larger 3 to 5 acre lots.
Tonight was a fourth of July celebration the likes of which I have never experienced in all those years.
The Fireworks started about 8:30 and have been a constant roar all the way up until now 10:45 and it is still going on.
People seem to have a bit more money to spend on fireworks that ever before. And walking about, the enthusiasm is so much more than ever. SEEMS EVERYONE HAS A FIREWORKS DISPLAY
Not just firecrackers and roman candle but the big stuff. Mortars lighting up the sky in all directions. Big ones like the city has going off in their parks. We have money to spend. It has been a while. CELEBRATE!!!!!
People are happy, excited about the future and apparently willing to spend money on celebrating our nation's birth more than I have seen in decades. If at all. It is a mood of confidence we have felt in the last four years.
Al i can say is WOW! And hope others here have experienced similar enthusiasm in their neighborhoods
HAPPY BIRTHDAY USA!!!!.
