If you've lived in Palm Coast or Flagler Beach long enough to have a preferred parade-watching corner on A1A, this weekend is not the Fourth of July you rehearsed last summer. The semiquincentennial edition has rewritten three of the parts you probably run on autopilot: where you park at the airport, what flies over the runway, and what happens on the main stage before the fireworks.
