Will you go and see the fireworks with your Autistic child? How and where?

We usually park in a parking lot and open up the back of the van so we don't have to worry about our son wandering off into a crowd! He does enjoy the sights and sounds of the fireworks amazingly! We live in the western suburbs outside Chicago, what are your thoughts? I'd love to watch them from a highrise! Any ideas for a change we could do this year?
