Wow

It's amazing to me that the lakeshore filled up by mid-morning with hopefuls trying to snag a spot for one of three fireworks displays this evening. One family camped out just south of the 57th Street Beach by 9 a.m., and made a day of it. "First we barbequed chicken, then swam, then came back and did it again," they said. That makes for a long day. I'm just sayin'.
