PALISADES Neighborhood News The Village Update on Norris Hardware Westside Retail confirmed that a deal is in place to secure a new tenant in the space currently occupied by Norris Hardware. ¢ “We are in negotiations with a great retailer,” Marc Pollock said. “[It] will be a welcome tenant for the Palisades residents, and a wonderful fit between Ralphs market and Pharmaca.” Many products are currently on sale in the store, and prices will continue to be discounted from July onward. —TRILBY BERESFORD The Village Construction at 881 Alma Real The two street-level main entrances of Palisades Village Center, the 881 Alma Real Drive building that houses the Palisadian-Post and other local businesses, will be temporarily closed for construction starting Monday, July 2. The closure is expected to last approximately two weeks. If you are planning on visiting the office of the Post and other businesses, there is an alternative entrance located on the south side of the building, which is ADA accessible. Sandstone Properties reported that directional signs will be posted accordingly. —SARAH SHMERLING The Village Chamber Offices to Reopen Soon The floor at the small gym will be completely redone.

y trip to Italy was outstand- ing! Before we left for our Mtrip, I learned some Italian. Our first stop was the magical city of Venice. One of the reasons Venice is so different from all other cities is its unique mode of transportation. In Venice, there aren’t cars, only boats. Instead of streets, there are canals. After arriving in a water taxi, we climbed to the top of the Cam- panile Bell Tower and visited St. Mark’s Basilica. At the top of the tall tower, there was a gorgeous view of the whole city of Venice. Next, we went to see St. Mark’s Basilica, which is a beautiful and humongous church. After a delicious Italian dinner, we watched the sunset at 9 p.m.! The next day, we visited Murano Island where we saw The Ring family on vacation in Italy.
