Fourth of July Fireworks Will Return to East River This Summer

Well this is excellent news.  After five years, fireworks will return to the East River.  Everything's coming up Brooklyn.  Senator Squadron snet out an email this morning:

Later today I'll officially announce, along with Mayor de Blasio and my colleagues, that Macy's 4th of July fireworks show will finally be moved back to the East River. 

This has been a long time coming. The last time Macy’s held its fireworks show on the East River was in 2008. In 2009 it was moved to the Hudson to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson’s voyage; it has stayed there since, for New Jersey to enjoy -- until now.
