A daytime landing and runway celebration
I thought they did. Or am I thinking about the landing of the plane carrying it back from CA? They also had ceremonies when they broke the fleet up around the country. I still think it is complete BS that 2 stayed on the east coast while the north/Chicago didn't get one.

Nope. Landed just before dawn in Florida. I woke up at like 3 am to watch the deorbit burn and follow it down.

Each site makes sense though:
National Air & Space Museum (Discovery): Smithsonian was always going to get one
Kennedy Space Center (Atlantis): Shuttles were based here
California Science Center (Endeavour): On West Coast and close to where the shuttles were built (Rockwell plant in Palmdale)
