I did not do much, just watched tv using stereo for sound.
Decades ago, went to a friend's house in Peoria Heights (suburb of Peoria)
and at one end of the block, a thousand dollars worth of fireworks in the
garage.
Half a dozen people, or more (no kids) watched as the rockets etc etc started back and forth down the street between at least two individuals; so much so that the flashes shut off the overhead street lights. A gigantic bellow of smoke covering over a block, higher than the houses. Lots of fun to say the least.
Finally, around the corner slipped a police car and everyone ran. No one was arrested, just some talk, but after a couple of years, the "war" took place out in the countryside. Luckily no fires.
Will never forget.
