There will be nearly 60 thousand people run down Peachtree Street a week from Thursday. Nearly 50,000 will stand on the side of the road and watch.
A half a million will show up for the Lenox fireworks. A few hundred thousand more will see fireworks shows all over the metro area.
More people go outside on the 4th of July than any other day of the year. The section of Peachtree near the hospitals will be lined with cheering observers in wheelchairs. Children will be seen up and down Peachtree riding on their parents shoulders. Furry four legged children will be dressed in red, white and blue.
For us, it is a little like the choir watching the crowds at Church on Christmas. We are here every day. They come once a year.
It is a beautiful day.
