WPCNR ROVING PHOTOGRAPHER. January 6, 2004: Today's photograph from City Hall, captures revellers at the White Plains New Year's Eve Ball Drop last Friday evening. City Hall reports an estimated 14,000 area residents filled the streets from Renaissance Plaza to Martine Avenue, spilling down Main Street in both directions. Jigsaw, the retro band, played for about two hours with Recreation & Parks Commissioner Arne Abramowitz as Master of Ceremonies. Mayor Joseph Delfino introduced Ms. New York -- Lauren Gordon and counted down with the multitudes as the band played on. The ensuing fireworks display punctuated the ball drop for over 12 minutes to the ooohs and ahhhs of the crowd.
