Cleveland Independence Day weekend 2010


Though there were a handful of communities who had to cancel their fireworks displays due to the lagging economy, you did not have to look far to see skyrockets in flight.


Independence Day weekend is always a huge weekend in Cleveland.


Friday night and Saturday night at Progressive Field entertained baseball fans and anyone visiting downtown and the immediate area as the city skyline boomed at dusk...


The Cleveland Indians put on one of 'the' best fireworks shows ever, bar none! They always have and they continue their streak.


Sunday, thousands converged all over Northeast Ohio for dozens of fireworks shows commemorating Independence Day --which makes this country great and sets it apart from so many other nations.


My sister, as she made her way to the Cleveland Fireworks show, ran into gridlock in the Shaker Heights area as residents converged on that community.


We made our way down to the wkyc digital broadcast center for one of the best vantage points in town to view not only the 4th fireworks but the air show and the grand prix.


What a night! Just jog your head to the left and see the Lakewood Fireworks show......look straight ahead and see the Cleveland Fireworks which lasted about 30 minutes and you look to the right and off in the distance could have been Euclid or some other 'lakeside' municipality...


The whole way home, the Cleveland sky painted in red, green, purples, and whites....


It must be Independence Day in Cleveland!
