Redondo Beach, California
Explored - July 5, 2013 #135
Much gratitude to Jackie Briles of Torrance, California who, for the 13th year in a row, has privately funded a fireworks show from offshore Torrance Beach.
Of course, this year, in spite of the fact that she was donating an estimated $60,000 for the event the cities of Torrance and Redondo Beach threatened to cancel unless she additionally pay a portion of the costs of "public safety".
Fortunately all the required permits had already been issued and when she balked at paying anything additional the cities backed off. Proving once again that no good deed goes unpunished.
