Good morning, this is Local Pulse for Saturday, November 23, 2024.

We're starting off the day with a big event in New Rochelle. The 60th Annual Thanksgiving Parade is happening today, kicking off at 10 am along North Avenue, from Eastchester Road to Bonnefoy Place. This year's Grand Marshal is none other than Ray Rice, a New Rochelle native and former NFL player, recognized for his community service both here and in Baltimore. The parade will feature floats, giant balloons, marching bands, and of course, Santa Claus. It's a great way to kick off the holiday season, so grab a spot along North Avenue and enjoy the festivities[1].

In other news, there haven't been any major hiring announcements or significant business expansions in our area recently. However, with the holiday season approaching, many local businesses are gearing up for increased activity, which could lead to temporary job opportunities.

On the real estate front, there haven't been any notable commercial or residential property sales announced in the past few days. However, with the holiday season often being a slower period for real estate, we might see some new listings and sales in the coming weeks.

From city hall, there haven't been any significant decisions affecting daily life in the past few days. However, the city is preparing for the holiday season with various events and activities, including the Thanksgiving Parade happening today.

Weather-wise, it's looking like a crisp autumn day, perfect for outdoor activities like the parade. Temperatures are expected to be in the mid-50s, with clear skies, making it an ideal day to get out and enjoy the festivities.

In new business activity, there haven't been any major openings or closings announced recently. However, local businesses are gearing up for the holiday season, offering special deals and promotions.

Looking ahead to the next few days, there are several community events happening. Tonight, there's a Thanksgiving Eve celebration featuring live music with local country acts at the Wood Theater in Glens Falls, NY[3].

In local sports news, Heritage Hills shut out Batesville 42-0 in the Class 3A football South Semi-state championship game[4].

For a feel-good community story, it's worth noting that the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train will be hitting local rails soon, bringing holiday cheer to our area[5].

In today's crime report, there haven't been any significant incidents or arrests in the past 24 hours. However, as always, it's important to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the authorities.
