Its still unusually quiet in NYC no parties or fireworks yet.

@Spagesgallo1
yes, my son arrived to newark airport at 6pm, went through Manhattan and got home last night at 7pm and even he thought it was eerily quiet. After hudson fireworks there was no local fireworks. That's very out of character for nyc. It's still very quiet today. The Bldg next door, which usually hosts a block party, didnt do that this year.

WOW! I am shocked to hear that! That is so out of character, especially for NYC! That's very interesting about the building next door not having their usual block party. I wonder if it's because of what is going on in the country. I know that I was actually feeling a bit depressed yesterday due to not knowing what the future holds for us. Last night there were fireworks. But nothing today, which is actually fine with me.

@Spagesgallo1

That's fine for me too. I prefer the subdued quietness than crazy angry period.

@Bliss

Yeah, I really can't handle the whole kaboom thing! I also worry about pups and vets. On LI, a guy let his young child set off fireworks. One hit a shed and set it on fire. Another house also caught on fire along with the house the father and his family were renting. Also on LI, 8 people severely injured including an 8 year old. They weren't even the ones setting off the fireworks. So yeah! Hard pass on fireworks!

@Bliss

Yeah, it really is! This is the main reason why I also don't like fireworks.
