Big fireworks are illegal in Illinois... so I remember back in the day me & a few friends would drive over to Indiana and spend $500+ on them. On the way back, cops would ALWAYS stop and look to make sure we arent bringing them over.
The guys at the stores would package them in brown boxes labled "Kitchen Utensils" or would give a nice big 40'' tv box filled with fireworks to make sure we didnt get caught. Luckily we never did.

But anyway, I realized that spending money on fireworks is a BIG waste. Why spend that much money for something that'll last me an hour, when I can go downtown Chicago and watch REAL fireworks.
