TRENDING ON SOCIAL MEDIA THIS SOON TO BE STEAMY JULY TUESDAY

Many of us are not on social media but we often get to hear about it---and are sometimes sent screenshots---currently hot on social media:

---Lots of chatter about the online minutes revealing a not so inclusive village DEI/I.D,E.A. Committee, possible first amendment issues, the co-optation of Summerfest into 'PRIDE-fest", PERIOD EQUITY, etc.  It's all very easy to find and for some more than others, not that surprising. Hate has no home here.....unless....

---Lots of chatter about that failed gonorrhea vaccine but many of us believe that Alex Berenson provides the most cogent---and reliable---information--- see more at A gonorrhea vaccine fails - and reveals a much bigger problem with the studies health bureaucrats use to push flu and Covid jabs but of course, do your own diligence.

---An update on the Briarcliff Solar Farm petition has been posted; as of this morning; there are 446 signatures in opposition; find the info at Petition · Protect Briarcliff Manor — Oppose the Proposed Solar Farm at 345 Scarborough Road - Briarcliff Manor, United States · Change.org

---Bots, bots, bots....everywhere a facebook bot....TDS....Erika's court clothing critiques....ghoulish Graham commentary, lots of nonsense unworthy of repetition---nothing to be done......

---Lots of chatter across multiple village, town, pages about Matters Coffee here in Croton--"coffee without the nonsense"---EverythingCroton: MATTERS COFFEE IN CROTON---PEEKSKILL FOODIE--LOOK WHAT POPPED UP ON FACEBOOK

MEADOWLARK!

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.

Back in May of 2019, the local birding world was fairly excited about a young Eastern Meadowlark that was spotted at The Croton Duck Pond. (Meadowlarks aren't exactly a common occurrence.)

Fast forward to 2021---they were back

MATTERS COFFEE IN CROTON---PEEKSKILL FOODIE--LOOK WHAT POPPED UP ON FACEBOOK
