It's that time of the year, when people drive up to Canada to buy illegal fireworks, and then set them off in inadvisable and irresponsible ways.

CULTURE BUZZ: The building, designed by the Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas, was one of the showcases of the Olympics era. Fireworks are the suspected cause (yikes).

A map of which states have legalized fireworks. This is only a very general guide — laws also vary from city to city, and the definition of what constitutes a consumer firework (not to mention a “safe and sane” firework) changes state by state. Still, it’ll be nice to know which laws you are violating this holiday weekend.
