Fireworks blast for weeks, draw complaints on Chicago's north lakefront
CHICAGO (CBS) -- An explosive issue has been drawing complaints in the Lincoln Park neighborhood lately.
Videos shared on social media show fireworks booming outside windows and going off between buildings.
Residents in the area along and east of Clark Street between Diversey and Fullerton parkways say such activity has been going on for a few weeks.
Some videos shared to social media show noisy, sparkling fireworks going off right out the window of high-rise buildings.
The fireworks happen anywhere between 7 a.m. and 10:30 p.m., and have even been mistaken for gunshots on Citizen app and other platforms.
Residents said they have reported the fireworks. CBS 2 is waiting to hear back from area Ald. Timmy Knudsen (43rd) and police.
Fireworks are illegal in the city of Chicago without a permit.
