midwest - transplant

Last night, Christian had a fireworks party over at his 16th floor, corner apartment in Lafeyette Towers (read: breathtaking view of the Detroit River, Windsor and downtown Detroit). Detroit doesn't have the resources to pay for its own fireworks, so Marshall Fields sponsored them until the Target Corporation sold Marshall Fields over the winter. So this year was the first year Target has sponsored the fireworks under their name. As some weird publicity stunt (I assume that's what it was, anyway) all the fireworks shot off during the entire 30-minute program were - you guessed it! - red.
