Fourth of July
by Thelly Reahm © Tidbits of time
1936
During The Great Depression, the only fireworks that were displayed were out in the middle of your own street. You didn’t dare ride your bike past a group of rowdy kids, because they would throw cherry bombs at the pavement and the sparks would fly up and burn your legs. There were sparklers and roman candles everywhere….but no plastic made-to-order show in some remote stadium or TV spectacular from New York Harbor and the Statue of Liberty.
In fact our big explosions were home made. Like everything else in those years when there was not enough money to feed and clothe us properly, much less to have extra left over to buy fireworks, we made do.
