The Roosevelt Island Twitterverse asked yesterday about all the noise on Main Street yesterday afternoon.
It was an effort by residents to “Make Some Noise” to thank Roosevelt Island essential employees and specifically a long time worker at Roosevelt Landings who is retiring.Roosevelt Islander (@Rooseveltisland) April 24, 2020
