I grew up there in the 70s and 80s.<br>My only comment is...the first time I ever had tequila was behind that building, and the first time I threw up from drinking. <br>Thanks for the perfect HD drone shot of both locations! 😂

Considering what a premium land space goes for in NYC nowadays it's a little weird that an island like that was just left abandoned and unused for so many years.

I am in Angelino and was visiting my daughter who lives in New York and my wife and I went to Roseville Island. It seemed like an interesting place what I was most impressed about was the quiet and solitude of it. I gotta go back and see the park at the opposite end of the lighthouse.
