It's Independence Day Weekend in Kansas City. It's well past time to head out and buy some fireworks. You can head pretty much any direction out of KCMO and hit a fireworks stand. If you head North or South, the Red X has you covered. They have a store in Riverside and one just South of the Grandview Triangle on 71. To the West, there are tents and more permanent structures in Wyandotte County. To the East, you have to go pretty far before you hit one of the I-70 roadside, year round establishments.

Wherever you go, please remember to leave the parking lot before you start lighting off your bounty. I've seen some close calls in the past!

If you're interested in seeing a more professional show, I have a list of some of the Fireworks Shows in the metro area.
