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.
