“Dear PoPville,
Just wanted to add a follow up warning to your post about the fireworks at Tanner Park’s movie night last week. Anyone using the MBT should be very aware of their surroundings this weekend and use extra caution passing through.
Today (Wednesday) at about 6:45pm, a kid was holding and shooting a lit firework down the trail at basically chest height. He, and we, were all under the New York Ave bridge – that’s how close range this was, and it’s lucky no one was hit.
With the number of people and children who use the trail every day, this is so dangerous and scary. The police officer at Tanner Park, presumably stationed there for tonight’s movie, basically shrugged at us after it happened. Not sure what the answer is, but very disheartening all around.”
