The traffic along route 51 between Aliquippa and the Ambridge Bridge seems to be picking up lately, and with good reason. The Independence Day holiday is upon us, and local residents are stocking up on fireworks at A-Rocket Fireworks. For many years, residents of Pennsylvania had to sneak across state lines, or get special permits to by “real” fireworks, but a little over a year ago, big fireworks that explode in the sky became legal in Pennsylvania and are available at A-Rocket Fireworks.
The brother and sister team of Abby and Michael Unis, along with their father, Albert, operate A-Rocket Fireworks, and the trio claim that business has been brisk since the legal requirements were relaxed. A-Rocket has package assortments in all price ranges and individual selections of specific favorites like mortars, sparklers, firecrackers and many other things in stock as well. There is something for everyone. If it has a fuse, you can find it at A-Rocket Fireworks.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is receiving mixed reviews for his stewardship of the U.S. economy, even as more Americans feel good about how the economy is doing. That’s according to a new survey by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. Nearly two-thirds of Americans describe the economy as “good,” though fewer give positive marks to the president himself.
OPAL, Va. (AP) — The Trump administration is moving to ease the federal regulations that dictate how much time truckers are allowed to drive their rigs each day. The rule changes are a priority for the trucking industry, which has forged a strong relationship with President Donald Trump. Industry lobby groups have pushed to make the rules more flexible. But highway safety advocates say the anticipated adjustments will lead to longer work days at a time when they say driver fatigue is a serious problem.
