Bastille Celebration in New Rochelle Friday

The City of New Rochelle has a special relationship with La Rochelle, France, the home of the founding Huguenots.

A day early, the City of New Rochelle celebrated Bastille Day with the raising of the French flag and singing of La Marseillaise and Star-Spangled Banner.

The ceremony was presented by the city and the New Rochelle-La Rochelle Sister City Committee.

At the end of the ceremony, the winning design and two runners-up for the 325th Anniversary logo competition were announced.

I think it's great that Pamela Davis stepped up to run and I would be glad to vote for her any otherRead More year. But this year we have one of New Rochelle's most dedicated and knowledgeable activists running. Bob Cox knows New Rochelle and the school district inside and out. I'm not sure the same can be said for Pam Davis. If you want someone who already knows where the wasteful spending is, and already knows the district's strengths and weaknesses, then Bob Cox is the person. Who cares how congenial he is? Where some people see anger and finger-pointing, others see tenacity and accountability.
