Enjoy explosives in Addison

By Patrick Williams

Published on July 03, 2008

Which is better: sex or fireworks? Seems like the two could share a lot of the same terminology -- a Roman candle, a bottle rocket or a screamer just sound dirty, don't they? We'd continue, but we're out of space, so let's just say this: You can sample some of the best fireworks anywhere Thursday at Addison's Kaboom Town, plus eats, booze and games (again, like sex). The event is 5 p.m. to midnight, with fireworks at 9:30 p.m. at Addison Circle Park, 4970 Addison Circle Drive. Call 1-800-ADDISON or visit addisontexas.net. Admission is free.
