There's something so spectacular about watching fireworks on the Fourth of July. That small colorful flame, jet-rocketing into the sky; only to explode into hundreds of smaller flames. The smell of sulfur and food on the grill... add some patriotic music in the background, and you'll probably catch a tear from this mama. Growing up in Bethel Park, on the Fourth of July, my friends and I always loved to watch fireworks from the South Hills Village parking lot. When we got a little older, we'd take the trolley to downtown Pittsburgh and catch them at Point State Park. One of my favorite things about where I live now, is that we manage to see fireworks on all holidays in a total 360 degree view from our house. That was a HUGE advantage when the kids were really little, and I didn't want to keep them out that late. I could pull them out of bed and snuggle them right on the back porch for a quick show before tucking them back in for the night. Now that they are getting older, they want to experience the whole shebang, so this mama has to stay in the know. Since it takes a village, we have rounded up some of the best spots in and around the South Hills of Pittsburgh to watch fireworks this Fourth of July.
