After Fourth Of July, Do Fireworks Keep You Awake?

Hearing fireworks throughout our neighborhoods is common place around the Fourth of July, but when does it go too far? 

We asked on the boards and on Facebook if people keep their Independence Day parties going too late, long after others have went to bed. And, users responded with comments.

"On a school (or) work night I say no later than 10 for it to be over," Marti Castrenze wrote on Facebook.

It seems some residents from various towns in the Tampa area covered by other Patch sites all understand that on the Fourth of July, parties may go a bit late. It's the rest of the week's late nights that are irksome. Some residents worry about pets, while others want revelers to know they're keeping their kids awake. 

So, now that the price of fireworks has dropped after the holiday, maybe we can all agree to put them away a bit earlier, and no later than midnight. And, wouldn't it be nice if everyone considered who has pets and kids living next door that may like a break even earlier?
