Brooklynites’ Hopes for ‘Fourth’ Fireworks Exploded
In a move sure to please Jersey-ites and tick off Brooklyn residents, the city has announced that it will be putting on the Macy’s 4th of July fireworks extravaganza on the Hudson River this year. The reason given for the move? It’s the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson’s voyage on the river. We suspect that explanation won’t be enough to placates Brooklynites, who’ve been able to watch the ‘works from their rooftop and waterfront perches for the last eight years. This go-round, though, the 40,000 fireworks will be shot from six barges between 24th and 50th Streets on the west side, reports NY1.
