We made a grave mistake in this week’s paper. There is not a July 4th fireworks show planned for Wednesday night at Brittlebank Park by the City of Charleston. The calendar listing in this week’s issue is wrong (it was left over from last year).
We apologize for the mistake and we encourage you to let everyone know that there will be no fireworks at Brittlebank next week. The RiverDogs fireworks show will happen on Tuesday night after the game.

So it seems the City of Charleston isn’t interested in the celebration of Independence Day? If ever there was a year that we need a reminder of the importance of out nation’s birth it is now. Is the City Council asleep? Are we so poor we can’t afford a celebration, a parade, a little flag waving and fireworks?
We claim to be fighting for freedom yet Charleston won’t offer its people a glorious reminder of the freedom won at huge cost by our founding fathers.
Has Charleston become unpatriotic? Seems so. I guess we just mooch off the good folk over the river this year.
