Show Some Love to Your Tot - Fridays @ 10:30am

If you're a parent, guardian or an adult caregiver with a toddler between the ages of 18-36 months, make sure you're at The Rochdale Village Public Library for the next five weeks.

Starting this Friday, specialists will be invited to the library introduce interactive activities for the adults and tots - such as nutrition, storytime and more.

The Rochdale Mall Shopping Center

Earlier this month, we posted pics of the Rochdale Shopping Center on the north side of Rochdale Village. Today, we present Rochdale Mall, located on the south side (at 137th Ave. & 169th St.). It's unique because of the outdoor courtyard-styled design. It's still a bit outdated, but not like the indoor shopping center. Albeit smaller, it feels a bit more contemporary and intimate, with green park benches, Wax Begonia plantings and a couple of Honey Locust trees. With all the necessities in one area, it's definitely a meeting spot and more than likely, you'll bump into someone you'll know.

Repaving One of Rochdale's Shady Malls

Rochdale Village has quite a few grassy walkways and promenades. Workers started repaving a portion of this popular walkway. This one is particularly used because as you walk south, it leads you right into the court-styled Rochdale Mall. This promenade is especially beautiful to stroll along during the daytime, with the rows of Honey Locust trees and Wax Begonias.
