When I was a kid, my friends used to get fireworks. It was always the same friends every year. There was no shortage of explosives for us to play with. People used to say that they got them in "Chinatown" in NYC. That may be true, but I've never gone looking.

I've seen more firework shops in some states than 7/11's. One time I found a fireworks shop near Knoxville, TN. I couldn't resist buying some goodies which I used in a neighboring hotel parking lot.
