KaBoom Town Addison, Texas 2012 - The Best Fireworks!

Fireworks were Very Good as usual, airshow was also good!  We are all grateful and appreciative for the Free Show which was very expensive to host. My family had a great evening until we packed up the car and headed home.  We were forced to go in circles by the Addison police department moving only a few feet every 5 minutes.  It took us nearly 1 hour to go less than a mile!  I do not blame the Addison P.D. but I have to say Shame on that planning committee for Horrible Planning on road closures and traffic routing.  It’s not like this was their first fireworks show…   

 Hello everyone.  I am an enforcement attendant for Addison and have worked Kaboom town two years in a row,  I am very suprised at seeing the number of people who complained about  the events poor control of traffic. WHAT DID YOU EXPECT ? The actual numbers of attendees is not really 500,000 but considering all spectators who could see event from MIDWAY to Montfort- I will let estimate slide. when you have over a dozen multilevel parking structures all pouring ONE WAY into the tollway and Arapaho promptly at 10pm there is no way to avoid the mess of traffic. Now if Addison charged for parking you would be less likely to attend. I applaud the people who were smart enough to park on Montfort and Arapaho and walk the 3 blocks. BARS , RESTRAUNTS, CONCERTS, CARNIVAL PARK, JACK's live stage, all managed very well considering the very few problems that occured. - SO the bottom line is Addison did great , the people who patiently bared traffic made it home, and if you can't handle it - stay home and watch on TV. Or simply wait until Midnight. I left event then and hit NO TRAFFIC what so ever. 2nd only to Disney Fireworks - Addison Kaboom town rocked it ! See y'all next year. And be happy its free , if you paid $10 to ride a hamster ball or $20 to park in a private lot - then that is a different story,
