New York City said adieu to 2022 Wednesday in an annual Times Square tradition.
Produced by the Times Square Alliance, the Good Riddance Day event tasks city dwellers with unburdening themselves with their own personal trials and tribulations from the past year. Hundreds flocked to the beating heart of the Big Apple on Dec. 28 where they scrawled unwanted memories on small papers that were then destroyed in dramatic fashion.
Dubbed the trash, bash, and dash course, New Yorkers were tasked with writing the things they want to be rid of on a form before tearing it up, whacking a punching bag, and running a brief obstacle course after which they received a $30 gift card and a scarf each. People of all ages joined together to symbolically leave their worries behind. Even the Times Square mainstay the Naked Cowboy got involved, stating he wants to leave pants in the rear-view mirror.
