Image from Josh Stevens via Twitter Have some fun tonight. You deserve it. Boo!!! UPDATE 10:50 PM – Roosevelt Island Historical Society President Judy Berdy adds:
Life goes on in Octagon. With minimum electricity and lights, the residents are a tough and great group.
Barbara Clark the General Manager had a Halloween Party
this afternoon to occupy the kids in the building. It was great to see the kids and parents decorating the Club Room
and doing fun activities. The party was held before dark, since there are minimal lights at night!
In the lobby tenants were charging their cell phones and devices on one of the few working outlets!!!
Barbara, you are our Manager of the Year
Despite the Halloween fun at the Octagon, a building resident asks Con Ed in this tweet:
.@conedison @notifynyc A ConEd employee just told my neighbor that you don’t know 888 Main St, @rooseveltisland doesn’t have power. ???
