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

After 39 years--more or less--and baking thousands of apple turnovers, strudels and more--Mike's German Deli a.k.a. Croton Delicatssen & Pastry is closing. While Mike and Annelie Bischoff have many fond memories of the village, they are looking forward to spending their retirement with friends, family and traveling. You can read their letter to the community in this week's Gazette.

In honor of the Bischoffs, a stroll down memory lane:
