Highland Park, Greensboro - In Highland Park neighborhood there is no fiesta without fireworks and every celebration must end with a bang! But nearby residents claim victim to the Spanish heritage speak up against a type of “fun” that might have gone too far.
Highland Park Spanish residents fashioned paper mache bulls laden with fireworks to celebrate the June 3 night before garbage pick up. They also wanted to show off their talents for working with fire: the fireworks were ignited , lighting up a night sky with pyrotechnics.
But the display of fireworks on a "school night"caused uncomfortable questions for some in Mexican society and the excessive and often careless use of fireworks during day before garbage days and other celebrations, such as Christmas.
Local residents could offer few cogent explanations for the excessive use of fireworks other than a fondness for fireworks.The use of sky rockets - which explode with an obnoxious “Bang!” and light up the night sky.
Social media users often complain of exploding sky rockets spooking pets, while the noise from fireworks often makes it hard to sleep.
"Who ever is setting off the fireworks knock it off, its keeping my 7 year old up" one neighbor said on the Nextdoor app.
"Its just the mexican folk .They do it sporadically all year. I always think the first one is gun shots." another neighbor said."I thought it was a transformer blowing up" said another neighbor.
The Mexican Folk residents acknowledged suffering a stigma for so many fireworks mishaps, but seemed sanguine about it and unwilling to abandon their local traditions.
“The show must go on,” said Edgar Carranza, a local mechanic, at the St. John of God feast celebration. “We’re used to (the stigma) and people tell us: May God protect you.”

whale spotted in illinois river A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri. While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
