i was just looking on google maps and mentioned that out loud to people that that looks like a good place to just show up at 915 and chill for 20 mins then leave without dealing with traffic

meredith was pretty cool for watching the fireworks. You wind up missing a lot of the fair traffic too. Wound up just getting a hotdog at snoopys.

fairground wasn't that great. Enjoyed the mud cats fireworks the other night though.

durham bulls fireworks were pretty good, only cause they set them off in the outfield so they're exploding right on top of you. Traffic sucked balls leaving though, so we just wasted an hour walking/hanging around american tobacco campus.
