Domino's Sweet Spell Over Baltimore + Fireworks!
from On The Record · host WYPR 88.1 FM Baltimore
Though fireworks in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor are cancelled for this year, there will still be a celebration of light! The new Domino Sugars Sign, restored to all its 70-foot-by-120-foot glory, will be turned on for the first time. We hear some reasons Baltimoreans love it so: “We’re getting married in two months, and our reception is at the Baltimore Museum of Industry, and we picked that because the Domino Sugar sign will illuminate the dance floor.” Plus a conversation with pyrotechnic expert John Conkling, who describes how fireworks work ... and why we love them: “I think it’s something really just psychologically deep in the human soul, to see the sky explode in color, noise, light …” Do you have a question or comment about a show or a story idea to pitch?
