The much anticipated Constellation Project by Melissa McGill will be launching Sunday, June 28 7:30-9:30pm on Bannerman Island.

This will be wonderful from the bluff in the Heights…a community BBQ may be in order 🙂
That’s a great idea, perhaps along the ‘view shed’, aka ‘green zone’. Back in the day, ’60’s early 70’s, when growing up in Brooklyn we had ‘block’ parties…close off the street, open barbeques, stick-ball, etc.. Good times, everyone had each other’s back. Seemed to be enough from a kid’s perspective.
