Without the Macy’s Fireworks viewing this July 4, Roosevelt Island has had a low-key day

although there was still plenty of BBQ’ing with friends at Octagon Park

and Lighthouse Park. July 4 is also the 12th anniversary of Roosevelt Islander Online. Here’s the first post from 2007 and it’s about the Southpoint Park July 4 Fireworks Celebration. Happy Birthday America!!!
