This week, we discuss a devastating Nassau Boulevard house fire, the planned relocation of Hatzalah Ambulance Corps, and upcoming mobile office hours with Nassau County Legislator Olena Nicks. We’ll look at the November election races, rising mortgage rates and Long Island home prices, and ask what’s next for the Pickle People after more than 46 years!
Plus, there’s plenty happening around town: the PTSA Community Yard Sale, Scout Troop 613’s open house, a special Franklin Square history presentation, and the upcoming West Hempstead Street Fair, Riesterer’s Bakery’s 95th anniversary celebration, and the Rock Hall Country Fair.
Stay informed. Stay connected. Support local. Tune in to This Week in West Hempstead for your weekly community news roundup!
