"Not what it used to be"
born and raised in New Rochelle I have seen the many changes .. New Rochelle was once known for one of the best places to live in westchester county .. a place where you would want to raise your children , but thats far from the truth anymore! New Rochelle has become a slum, a step up from the south Bronx ... our school district has children graduating high school who cant read, middle schools are flooded with little gang bangers, which only grows as they move onto high school.. We use to be the Queen city of the sound , sadly its more like welcome to slum city , wheres there nothing to do , becareful where you walk you might get your sneakers robbed at knife point or fall victim to a teenage gang initiation .. im very sorry and sad at the time i had to write this about the city i grew up and wanted to raise my children in , but its the truth ...
