Fireworks in the Glass City

Toledo likes setting off fireworks and living in the "Warehouse District" downtown I've seen my share. When the Mud Hen's season was winding down, I'd could see the explosions from my apartment when the ballpark had "fireworks nights." And over Labor Day, the Other Clerks, Wabes, and I went to the roof deck to watch two shows.

This picture was taken the night of the 15th. Apparently, many years ago, lightning struck the church's steeple and it burned like a torch. The church only recently received a donation to rebuild and celebrated (in an ironically risky fashion) when the job was done.
