fireworks-3by Steven Doyle

Summer 2014 marches along and the heat is turning up a few degrees each day. This can only mean it is time to celebrate our nation’s birth with family picnics and outings. One of the biggest celebrations in the North Texas area is Addison’s Kaboom Town this July 3rd. This is one of the country’s best fireworks displays, and the crowd swells even larger as the years go on. The City of Addison has new policies in place to alleviate some of the traffic and over-crowding by offering a limited supply of tickets to anyone who cares to join the fun on the grounds within the barricade where food, drinks and music will be offered.  You may grab your free tickets at their website.

For the rest of humanity, the many restaurants that measure across Belt Line in Addison will offer their own special parties and prime seating. You will want to scope out those restaurants for reservations individually. One of the best seats can be found at Chamberlain’s Fish Market. Call them for more information at 972.503.3474. Chef Chamberlain always has a party planned, and a special 3-course dinner.    Continue reading →
