My fiance and I sat for well over an hour as the rain came down increasingly harder and harder. We were soaked and shivering, but announcements kept being made that the fireworks were going to be set off soon, and "Thanks for hanging in there with us," etc. The news was on the big screen TVs that were set up around the Art Museum and at around 10:40 or so the anchors from ABC 6 announced that the fireworks were "officially cancelled." We were disappointed (and soaked to the skin) so we (and everyone else) left. We were so frustrated to find out this morning that the fireworks were set off an hour after we left. When it's announed that something has been "officially cancelled" then that should be it! I'm still steaming. The mayor's office said that "no one ever announced the fireworks were officially cancelled" but that was a complete lie; we were there and we heard.</p> http://phillyist.com/2007/07/05/sad_about_last.php#comment-1140273 http://phillyist.com/2007/07/05/sad_about_last.php#comment-1140273 Comments Thu, 05 Jul 2007 11:33:59 -0500 <p>Aw man! That is so disappointing! We heard they were canceled, so we went home!</p> http://phillyist.com/2007/07/05/sad_about_last.php#comment-1140267 http://phillyist.com/2007/07/05/sad_about_last.php#comment-1140267 Comments Thu, 05 Jul 2007 11:29:33 -0500 <p>WRONG! they ended up setting them off....for the 'tv audience"... i saw it on action news.... people were pissed.</p>
