Nyack is
special
By Terry Hekker,
former Mayor of Nyack
"Nyack
is special. Not because it's our home. It just is. Like that
old cliche about blind dates: it's not so beautiful, but it has
great personality. It is less than one square mile. And in this
small, hilly area there peacefully co-exist the rich and the
poor and everything in between. A complete spectrum of skin colors
and life styles. Significant Russian and Haitian groups. Low
income housing and mansions. And, diversity is not just accepted,
it is celebrated. There are things we're missing. Like snobbery.
No one with devotion to class structure or the desire to climb
the social ladder would choose to live here. Although Nyack is
home to winners of Oscars and Emmys and Tonys and to executives
and writers, artists and scholars, they have chosen not to live
in a high-status zip code, preferring the lumpy tapestry of our
village life."

 The village of Nyack is great fun to visit,especially
in Spring and Fall. A very small village, less than a square
mile in area, Nyack is jam-packed with craft shops, art galleries,
antiques shops and great eating places. It's pleasant to spend
an afternoon browsing, strolling our tree-lined streets and viewing
the majestic Hudson. At the West end of the Tappan Zee Bridge;only
20 minutes North of New York City |
