Your Two Cents’ Worth

Parked

Why is there a trailer parked permanently on Swarthmore, taking up two parking spaces? Is Chabad paying for these spaces for some kind of outreach or housing or advertising or ?

(Editor’s note: Chabad arranged with the city to park the trailer there to share a message around the Jewish High Holidays, Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, Rabbi Zushe Cunin explained to the Palisadian-Post. The trailer will not be there permanently.)

Parking

The free parking at the Village during the farmers market seems to have gone away. What gives? Caruso should offer 15 or 30 minutes of free parking.

(Editor’s note: “Palisades Village provides one hour parking validation for guests of the Farmers Market with validations redeemed directly through the organizer of the Farmers Market,” according to a representative from Caruso. “Upon the expiration of the one hour validation, prevailing rates apply.”

Leaf Blowers

Every Saturday morning without fail, Palisades Charter High School has gardeners using loud, polluting, illegal leaf blowers for hours. It is beyond ridiculous that the school had any role in the “Climate Strike” on Friday.

(Editor’s note: While students from the school participated and organized the local iteration of the strike, it was not a Pali High-organized event.)

Hawks

I live in the hills above Paul Revere and for 35 years we have been viewing the beautiful red or white tailed Hawks glide in the currents above the school and Mandeville Cyn. This year they were few and rare. Anybody else miss them soaring above?

Candidate Forum

Please watch the PPCC candidate forum from last Thursday. We need to elect someone who will actually listen to their constituents in CD11.

‘Nunsense’

The opening night of Theatre Palisades new production “Nunsense” was Friday 9/9/22. I was in the audience and had no preconceptions of what the show would bring. Not a fan of nuns being kooky, as I attended Catholic grammar school and we kids adored the nuns and speculated about what was under those habits they wore. The production was a cabaret with audience participation encouraged by the five sisters on stage. At the end of the show, one of the women has a number (I won’t give it away) and she (Julie Hinton, who portrays Sister Amnesia) is an amazing talent. The evening was made by her talent and voice. So glad I was there to see the magic.

(Editor’s note: For those interested in seeing the show, this is the final weekend, with shows scheduled for Friday, September 30; Saturday, October 1; and Sunday, October 2.)
