Nyack Weekender: Hear, There and Everywhere

It’s a weekend for “hear,” there and everywhere. You can travel to France or a Golden Pond without leaving Rockland. Or listen to the music of the Dead, the Beatles, Bob Dylan or reggae. On Saturday there’s a cycling spin to Zoo Jersey and a new sport to try; on Sunday there are new stories to hear. Looking ahead to next week: free outdoor music, more classic cars on Main Street and a drive-in movie. As George Gershwin might have said, “It’s summer time, and the calendar is busy.” (we’re paraphrasing, of course).
