2010 New York City Marathon Tomorrow Won't Be Seen From The Roosevelt Island Tram - But Local Band Kilowatt Will Be Playing On Route In Greenpoint

The ING 2010 New York City Marathon takes place tomorrow. Unfortunately, because the Roosevelt Island Tram is still out of service, there will be no Tram Riders to see sights like this of Marathon Runners making their way up First Avenue after coming off the Queensboro Bridge.
