I know you’re all excited about the dawning of a new Lunar New Year — but as you usher in the Year of the Rabbit, if you could at least move the mass illegal fireworks display outdoors, that would really be great. Unfortunately, that little bit of common sense was lost on a group of merrymakers at the Eden Shopping Center in Falls Church.
As reported by ARLnow.com, Arlington County police were able to fill a 44 gallon trash can (and an 18×12 box!) with illegal fireworks confiscated from stores after they deduced that several people in the Center were setting them off inside. Arlington police, as a result of the incident, said they’d be bumping up enforcement.
