Thursday morning, I was riding on my route, Arch Street to be exact, when I began to see these strange clusters of red shrapnel everywhere along the sidewalks.
In hindsight, it's pretty obvious what they are - fireworks casings:
But, me in my half-awake auto-pilot state at 7:30 AM didn't realize this...and after noticing what they were, I didn't understand why they were there.
Then I realized that I was in the heart of Chinatown, and the Chinese New Year Celebration had just happened days earlier. Suddenly it all made sense.
We crazy Americans normally shoot off fireworks in the Summer...
