A reader has fond memories of going with her father for his "quarterly haircuts at a barber shop that started with a "M", then for pizza or sometimes the diner for lunch. Got anything on the barber shop? The owner was great and had a HUGE bowl of penny candy on the counter for kids".

Response: You must mean "Messa's", His candy bowl was apparently legendary as this story has been heard many times before; GO TO EverythingCroton: SOME RECENT REQUESTS: PARKWAY DELICATESSEN, MESSA'S BARBER SHOP, HENRY HECKMAN & CROTON'S BOOTLEGGING PAST

A reader asks: The village had a hotel once????

The blog has been relentlessly trolled that calling pot "marijuana" is "racist" even if the word appears in an article. It should instead be referred to with the "non-racist term, cannabis".
