July 4th open thread

Since it's the holiday weekend and not a whole lot is going on in Salisbury, I'd like to throw out a question at my readers.

I'm aware of Independence Day celebrations in a number of communities - Willards, Crisfield, and Laurel, Delaware immediately spring to mind. So why doesn't Salisbury have a parade, or even fireworks aside from those put on by the Shorebirds? Who will put their (or our) money where their mouth is and step up to the plate?

I think your comments will be interesting. I'll try to pop in from time to time to moderate, but I have plans for tomorrow so moderation will be hit and miss. Yes, I know that somewhat defeats the purpose of an open thread but there's more to life than blogging.

Just let me know what you think!
