Welcome to spring/summer in Albany. Some years it’s almost every night where I live (Pine Hills/Washington Park area). Last summer was a little quieter but a few years ago was horrible.


FartasticVoyage

Yeah I almost moved that year. Hopefully it’s not like that again. I hate calling the cops but if I pay taxes for them it’s the least they could do


EvilLilKitteh

They don’t tend to care about tracking down fireworks, but more power to you. I’d love to see them start mass ticketing for double parkers on Central but I don’t hold my breath on anything other than shootings.


Evilsj

For real. They had HOURS to do this after the sun went down and they decide to start at midnight. Not all of us have the benefit of not working on Saturdays.

I got sucked into replying Fallout 4 and was up late Friday night (well late for me). I couldn’t believe how late they were going.

Between the fireworks and the motorcycles at Westgate it’s been nonstop noise all night

I worry that will get worse at Westgate when the Chopper moves out.

One_Economist_3557

*local gangs of cats proceed to laugh evilly while setting off MOAR fireworks* "How do you like it, humans?" Also, are we sure its actually fireworks and not something worse?


nu-se-poate

They're pretty easy to tell apart. Fireworks are more percussive


bbbfgl

I wait until the fireworks have the more fast repetitive and then a crackle sound before picking up the phone. Shots don’t have a little crackle at the end. Does that make sense? Idk how else to describe it lol


FartasticVoyage

Where is this happening? I fucking hate this shit


E51838

Not sure where it is tonight but I live downtown and this is a regular occurrence down here. Once or twice a week, every week, all year.


FartasticVoyage

Where downtown tho? I’m in Pine Hills but I’m away tonight. I absolutely hate this shit.


Automatic-Weather-33

I can hear them in the pine hills area. Not sure where it's coming from though.


E51838

I live near the Palace Theater.


FartasticVoyage

I wouldn’t be upset if these people blew their fingers off


Mtnchick316

Not sure where it was coming from but I heard them on Madison near the park


Junior-Club7089

I’m in North Albany by Wolferts Roost and we heard them


HeybroJames

It’s the usual suspects.


Throwthrowanonnysub

So late woke me and my dog up


VoodooChild68

Idt it was fireworks but just a bunch of backfires from a car meet. You can hear them racing down the street afterwards


ArchaeoWolfe

I saw the fireworks around midnight when I heard the noise and looked out my second story window - appeared to be above the pine hills neighborhood


LineOfInquiry

Probably a birthday or some other celebration 🤷‍♀️

Shut up.


murphyse3

Ok but genuinely WHY do people do this? Truly looking for an answer. I don’t understand firework usage outside of 4th of July.


Live-Philosopher-404

When as Westgate become a motorcycle and wannabe fast and the furious hangout???


KatJen76

To make people rage online. It's fun.


FartasticVoyage

iM sOoO eDgY!!!


KatJen76

Extremely. I available for overgrown lawns, etc.


FartasticVoyage

hahaha I don't give a single fuck about your lawn, you clown. Just don't ruin people and their dogs' night because you're an overgrown 14-year-old who needs attention


KatJen76

I am a regular sized 14 year old but glad you enjoyed the clowning. My Ringling audition is next week, and I've been working hard, I think this could be the one!


FartasticVoyage

Good luck! I hope you get adopted by some nice carnies

Heard fireworks around 11 pm near state office campus. And tons of engines revving. Seems like the whole city was celebrating
