The mild Saturday weather brought out some pre-pandemic social activities at Essex Crossing. Including a terrace gathering at the Rollins building, with nary a face mask in sight.
Community leader Daisy Paez, who herself publicly struggled with the novel coronavirus last year, shared video of the gathering on Twitter.
Partygoers are seen drinking, embracing, and sitting on the ledge.
“Is this privileged behavior or simply a disregard of the pandemic,” she wrote.
