    "The Westchester July 4th parade is a great community event. School marching bands from Westchester and beyond, floats featuring various organizations, children riding their decorated bicycles, classic cars with politicians, and dancing horses. The homes along the route decorate too so it’s a very festive celebration of our country. "

    "We don’t have a dog, but you’re near a nice park and people are pretty dog friendly. Lots of dogs walking around. Not much grass on the sidewalk outside of the park, so might need to walk a block or two for the bathroom. "
