...Many New Yorkers aren't quite over the fact Macy's has blown up their fireworks show every year since 2009 on the Hudson River and want back what they call their birthright (OK, maybe not birthright). Agitators NY State Senator Daniel Squadron and Public Advocate Bill de Blasio are hot and heavy after Macy's to move the fireworks back to the East River where only New Yorkers can see them. They actually have a petition (which we feel no obligation to link to) to get the Macy's Fireworks moved back exclusively to the East River site.
When someone asked if alternating between the two sites would be acceptable they said only "That'd be better than what we've got now."
Johnny could get behind an alternating schedule. It certainly wouldn't be the worst thing. It would allow New Yorkers, so put upon, to feel extra special like they deep down know they are once every two years. Then the rest of us *rabble would get our shot in the off years.
