Fireworks in Oakland

Yeah, I know, not cycling related, but anyone know what the occasion was for lighting off fireworks in Oakland a second ago? Not that I'm complaining.

Homecoming, most likely.

Oh OK. I didn't figure it was a response to our observations that too many cyclists ride at night with no headlight.

Pitt homecoming. It was a fun fireworks and laser show.

Is there some rich history of fireworks in Pittsburgh? Being a transplant, I don't quite understand the fascination.

One big reason is that we're spoiled by these people: http://www.zambellifireworks.com/


They're still family owned after 100 years or more, and they're relatively close being in New Castle.
