The second year the fireworks have been at Walker Johnston Park and Urbandale residents still are looking for the best seats in the city.

Did you find a great place to watch Urbandale's fireworks last night?
This is the second year the fireworks have been at Walker Johnston Park. City officials and members of the Urbandale Fourth of July Committee say you should be able to see them from many locations around town, but many residents, myself included, still are looking for the perfect spot.
