The "It Happened Here" exhibit at City Hall closes September 14. Run, don't walk, in the other direction: you have ten days, it's free, and it's open weekdays 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM.
The New Rochelle Council on the Arts built it from the Westchester County Historical Society's McDonald Interviews — early records, maps, eyewitness accounts of New Rochelle in the Revolution — set against modern photographs by Adam Pape. Revolution history, in the building where the city still runs its meetings. That's a rare pairing.
The questions New Rochelle actually searches — answer first, source after.
When can I meet Mayor Ramos-Herbert?
Sunday, September 20, 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM, at 16 Handles. It's Coffee with the Mayor, one of her casual shop-by-shop gatherings — walk in, no formal program, bring the question you'd ask at a council meeting but never do.
What's at the New Rochelle Public Library in September?
A full month of programs, and the calendar itself is the answer: the library posts everything at its own calendar page — this month it includes the "Air of Truth" exhibit. Storytimes, music, adult programs, the whole list lives in one place.
Nothing broke overnight. No active National Weather Service alerts for Westchester County, and no new road or utility advisories logged for New Rochelle as of this morning.
Quiet is the story we can verify. When the next storm or closure lands, it leads this section the same morning.
🤖 AI Corner — one plain-English AI thing, every issue
This week: make AI write your email in 60 seconds.
Say exactly what you want, to whom, and how it should sound — like telling a helpful intern: "Write a short, friendly email to my landlord asking to fix the kitchen faucet; polite but firm." Copy, read it once, change two words so it sounds like you, send. That's the whole skill.
Reply with questions; they become future AI Corners.
