The paintings of former Nyack resident Dorothy Johnson Deyrup are the subject of a retrospective exhibition at The Edward Hopper House Arts Center in Nyack from Saturday Feb 13 – March 21.
Born today, we might consider Dorothy a photojournalist, having traded her camera for a brush, for her work is compelling and iconographic, telling stories and depicting moments in life suspended in time.

Nyack, Feb 1 — Nyack’s Superblock downtown redevelopment vision is taking two tiny steps forward. The village will hire an outside consultant to write a Request For Proposal (RFP) authorizing a feasibility study for a Superblock project. More importantly, village officials have identified a source of funding for the study. Riverspace, with the help of South Nyack resident Rosie O’Donnell, will fund the proposed $80,000 Superblock feasibility study.

Nyack, Jan 30 — A Friday late night fight in the Riveria Steakhouse at the foot of Main Street resulted in two arrests and an officer being sent to the hospital with shards of glass in his eye.
The melee resulted from a customer stealing several liquor bottles from behind the bar and then throwing one of the bottles through the front window of the restaurant. Eyewitnesses counted at least 22 police cars on the scene. According to the Journal News, officers from Clarkstown, Piermont, South Nyack-Grandview, Spring Valley, the Rockland Sheriff’s Department, New York State Police and New York state Park Police responded to the incident.

NYACK (Dec. 30) – A state audit released this week criticizes the Nyack Joint Fire District board for the methods used to finance the $3.5 million new firehouse on Park Street in Nyack, but fire commissioners say state Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli has sounded a false alarm with his report.
The audit is the culmination of a three-year process which put the comptroller’s office in conflict with Nyack’s fire commissioners. Local fire officials contend they are being unfairly criticized for replacing a 130 year old dilapidated firehouse with a modern structure.

On Dec 31, the Yonkers to Manhattan ferry service will close. At a annual subsidized price of $27,000 per commuter, the Yonkers ferry line never drew enough passengers to break even.

These are companies formed around kitchen tables in family meetings, formed when an entrepreneur takes a chance on a dream, formed when a worker decides it’s time she became her own boss.

NYACK – The focus about anything Nyack is usually on the downtown. But if you take a walk up the hill, there are some good things happening.
Up along Highland Avenue (Route 9W), construction has been moving on quickly for the new Provident Bank branch at the corner of High Avenue. With the move of Nyack’s Dapper Dog to its new location another block north on Highland (in the long closed florist), this neighborhood has become busy again.
