40 years of civic decline in New Rochelle (thanks to consistently bad/unaccountable government) and they finally have something to celebrate in front of city hall. Hope no one notices what a dump city hall is while they are there
I am a proud Ravens Fan from Silver Spring, will be at the event on Saturday.
Born and raised in the City of New Rochelle…I have never had the honor of personally meeting Ray Rice but as a Rochellean and an alum of New Rochele High School, I am so proud of him and all of his accomplishment. He is a pinicle of what New Rochelle stand for and reflects the true meaning of the sports program of New Rochelle High School and their coaches. Hey diddle, diddle, Ray Rice up the Middle!!! Ray, We are so proud of you… Thank you for all that you are doing for New Rochelle and it’s youth.. You are a true role modle. God bless you and your family… Congratulations to you and The Baltimore Ravens!!!
“Rice is expected to be there.” Hopefully Ray Ray doesn’t get too whacked at Spec’s on Friday Night
