Big Daddy's Fireworks

One of the greatest institutions to come out of the south is undoubtedly the ample number of fireworks super-stores that grace the sides of I-75 on my drive home from Charlotte to Chattanooga. The greatest of them all: Big Daddy's Fireworks. The enormous sheet metal warehouse hosts an array of fireworks, guns and beer enough to satisfy even the most jorts-wearing, mullet-rocking homeboy you could ever hope to encounter. The face of the warehouse is adorned with a larger than life announcement to the world that you are, in fact, at Big Daddy's firework emporium. Flashing lights set the sign shine, giving hope to passersby, reminding them that here are the best prices brands and variety of fireworks you could ever hope for! Just in case you aren't satisfied with fireworks (after all, there's onlyy so many times you can shoot bottle rockets at one another until you graduate to bigger and better things), your one stop shop provides you with an array of actual weapons! And of course, whether you are shooting fireworks or guns, or some brilliant new combination of the two, where would you be without a case of beer with which to wash it all down?
