The Great Bay Ridge Debate takes place next Tuesday, September 25, at 7:3o p.m. The debate is a chance to hear local pols go at it before the elections.

Xaverian High School at 7100 Shore Road will host the war of words, and audience are encouraged to attend.

The only unfortunate note to this civic event is that it falls on the eve of Yom Kippur.

Update (9/22/12 3:39 p.m.): Brian Hedden of Bay Ridge blog Bay Ridge Odyssey has informed us that the debate has been cancelled to avoid the Yom Kippur date conflict. No date is set yet for another debate.
