New Rochelle Day of the Dead Exhibit Postponed

The aftermath of Hurricane Sandy causes the event to be postponed due to power outages.

The Day of the Dead (El Dia de los Muertos), sponsored by the New Rochelle Library, exhibiting the student’s artwork and performances has been rescheduled due to the power outages of Hurricane Sandy.

This event was supposed to take place at the New Rochelle High School Thursday, Nov. 1, and was postponed until further notice, according to the library's Community Relations Director Barbara Davis.

A new date for this event is unknown for now and will be posted as soon as it is confirmed with the high school. 

The Day of the Dead event was part of the library's Big Read, the community-wide reading of Sun, Stone and Shadows: 20 Great Mexican Short Stories.

It seemed to me the key point of moving the City Yard from the waterfront was to open up theRead More waterfront and turn that run down and obsolete yard into a public park overlooking Long Island Sound. The westside site was the most cost effective place to move the yard. Not ideal, but no real alternative has been proposed. I don't think this has much to do with racism. All races can enjoy more of the waterfront. Any development around it will add to our tax base

Ms. Aronow, The issue is that an alternative has been suggested, Ward Acres, as it is much largerRead More and strategically beneficial for the City of New Rochelle. I don't think the recent public discussions has resulted in unanimity in terms of the waterfront being an entirely public venue for all races to enjoy.
