There was no coverage of the celebrations of
the end of the Concorde in some of the communities under the Concorde flight
path, like Rockaway, Hamilton Beach and Howard Beach in New York City

Yes there was. But you being holed up in Orange County, NY with your little
black & white TV it would be difficult to see the coverage.
Maybe now you'll come out of the woods and return to the Rockaways.
Nah, stay up where you are.
