Costa Mesa residents will have two additional days to light “safe and sane” fireworks, as reported in the Daily Pilot here. We say, shop at Phantom Fireworks Stand that’s supporting Kaiser Woodland Schools Foundation’s "Save our Science" program. The elementary school students are in jeopardy of losing their science education—that’s alarming. Phantom Fireworks is at 2150 Harbor Blvd. (Norm’s parking lot, corner of Victoria and Harbor) in Costa Mesa. It’s open 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Thursday through Sunday. Open 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday.
