IT'S FLAG DAY AND A BLAST FROM UNAMI--AND FLAG DAYS PAST 2011

elcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

With the old Carvel/Umami building demolished, and Holy Name reminding everyone that its FLAG DAY, we had a request for......

On June 14th 2011 (FLAG DAY), UMAMI Restaurant (Located at the corner of South Riverside and Oneida Avenues in the heart of Harmon) held a special event in commemoration of Flag Day. (CLICK ON THE PHOTO.) They donated half their profits to the American Legion Post 505 and VFW Post 5197 in Croton. In addition, they also hosted a group of WWII Vehicle collectors and reenactors who displayed vintage vehicles and uniforms from WWII.
 

The restaurant opened at 5 PM and featured an extended menu. We couldn't stay for the festivities but here's some photos of a World War II Army jeep that was on display in the lot.

A REMINDER---VOTE FOR MIKE LAWLER--FROM MESSICA DIECKMAN

Vote for Mike Lawler. He is a good guy and a Republican trying to survive in a deep blue state and county. He may not be perfect for you but he is very good especially compared with the competition. No one here would be even slightly happier with Cait Conley (and you will be paying far more in taxes) or any of the other Dems if they win. You would be missing Lawler. Please give him your vote and don’t stress everything. 

Thanks,
Jessica Dieckman

SARCONE: ITHACA MAN FACES FEDERAL CHARGES FOR CHILD EXPLOITATION

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

ITHACA, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — A 42-year-old Ithaca man was arrested and charged with enticement of a minor and distribution of child pornography.

David Pastorello is accused of sending text messages to a girl under the age of 12, repeatedly requesting that the child have sex with him.

He is also accused of sending the victim indecent images of himself, two images of child pornography and entering the victim’s apartment without permission before running away.

Acting U.S. Attorney John Sarcone III said that the state authorities failed by letting Pastorello, who had a history of trouble with the law for similar charges, out of custody.  “His new crimes demonstrate how dangerously unwise that decision was,” Sarcone said.

DOMINICAN CAR CULTURE USES ALL THE SPEAKERS

So a reader has decided to thoroughly research this issue and is sharing what she finds.  It's also allowed her to practice her language translation skills and how to use an AI program---and with both, she was able to track down a link to 2021 article that details Dominican car audio culture. You may find it as fascinating as at least a few of us did.  Some of us are still annoyed and hoping we've heard the last of it all....no pun intended.

This autoblog link is a goldmine of info....on so many levels.
