They aren’t having fireworks at Hank Aaron Stadium? 

Its a shame there is nowhere but downtown Mobile, or the packed Causway to watch fireworks in Mobile County.

Its too packed for me to take my 94 year old Mother downtown, and she can’t sit in the car 3 hours to wait on them.  She can’t use a porta-let either!
