Residents in the Kensington area say they saw and heard fireworks Sunday evening, lasting at least 90 minutes, according to two nearby residents.
Jeff Day, a North Chevy Chase resident who lives just east of Connecticut Avenue, told Bethesda Beat that around 6 p.m. Sunday, he started hearing the fireworks. He said he could see the fireworks and estimated they were about a quarter mile away.
“This was not a few Roman candles. These were big explosions 60 feet in the air. It was a pretty impressive performance,” he said.

PORTLAND As about 50 people dressed head-to-toe in black stood in a standoff with Portland police blocking a parking lot behind Benson High School, several parents and coaches from a youth soccer program on the nearby field walked up to see what was going on.
“What are they marching for?” one soccer mom asked.
The anarchists, antifa and activists seemed at times to question that themselves.
