ICYMI--2026---SO HOW MANY POT SHOPS ARE THERE IN WESTCHESTER
With Croton set to get its own pot shop/cannibas dispensary (called MINDSET), a reader asks: Just how many of these places are there "around here"/
Response: Assuming that you mean Westchester when you use the term "around here"---this is an AI generated list--a reminder that 26 communities opted out and said NO..........go to EverythingCroton: SO HOW MANY POT SHOPS ARE THERE IN WESTCHESTER?

UPDATE FROM LOHUD---INSIDE OUR REPORTING ON WESTCHESTER BALLOT PROBLEMS
YADA YADA YADA THIS FINE FRIDAY...
.jpg)
You know the drill---most of us are not on social media but we often get to hear about it--and are sometimes sent screenshots.
The village is home to at least a dozen "community" pages and/or private forums and twitter pages. The "hot fb one" at the moment is Croton Landing. but really they're all hopping, and especially with the holidays on the horizon.
Currently trending--and STILL number one social media chatter spot--many thanks to RedPapyrus and TMThoughtsCreekskill for passing along:*****Much discussion about the IDEA Committee, but that's best left for the parental forums to hash out. Much discussion still, about Bob Anderson's recent Gazette letter
And no. still no public apology to anyone, and it is perhaps best not to expect any.
*****Much discussion about the scanner/ballot issues from the village election--how could this have happened, who will be held accountable, MIS-STEPS FROM THE COUNTY BOE, etc. HERE'S WHERE THNGS STAND AT THE MOMENT: EverythingCroton: CROTON.NEWS----STATE IDENTIFIES OMITTED ARDSLEY RACE BEHIND WESTCHESTER SCANNING DISRUPTION
and update from LOHUD EverythingCroton: UPDATE FROM LOHUD---INSIDE OUR REPORTING ON WESTCHESTER BALLOT PROBLEMS
*****LOTS of praise for the "straight-forward" Croton.News AI site
*****Next big thing---lots of posts about the scourge of Ebikes and scooters, and speeding bikes whether pedal powered or not----down at the "Landing".
And still a lot of discussion about the accident a few months back, THE PLEASANTVILLE CRACKDOWN, etc. It's all pretty easy to find still EverythingCroton: & NOW YORKTOWN--E-BIKE LAWS
*****CROTON TRAIN FOLKS have a LOT OF FB AND YOUTUBE PAGES! HERE'S TWO OF THEM: EverythingCroton: TRAIN STUFF---SLIDESHOW, 10/3/26 METRO-NORTH OPEN HOUSE, AMERICA 250
****A resident spent some time in the vicinity of some of our new local pot shops and had quite a few eye opening tales but there's no point in rehashing any of it. Bottom line: The village did not opt out when it could have, and we need to be prepared for the new zoning.
****MUCH DISCUSSION about the upcoming Eucharistic Revival at Holy Name EverythingCroton: REMINDER---ARRAY OF HOPE--EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL
****MIXED REVIEWS ABOUT THE HARMONIC ART INSTALLATION DOWN AT THE LANDING; you should probably make your own site visit and call Harmonic Landing | Croton-on-Hudson, NY
