We love when we can settle a spirited---fun---debate...A reader writes:
I seem to recall heart-shaped mints in one of our stores a few years back---but can't recall where or what brand they were. I was hoping to find them again this year but no....did I imagine them, I wonder?
OUR RESPONSE: No, they were not a figment of your imagination! There were indeed HEART SHAPED JUNIOR MINTS--FOR A LIMITED TIME--FOR VALENTINE'S DAY--back in 2021 and 2022. They seemed to be sold only at SUPER FOODTOWN OF CROTON at the time, and we have not seen them since. Click on the photo.

LA CATRINA HAS RE-OPENED--LOHUD ARTICLE
UPDATED---REOPENED--LOHUD ARTICLE---Edgar Carrillo is all about spreading happiness.

The recently opened sit-down place, open since Feb. 12, is a reincarnation of an old one.

On March 3, 1913, a statuesque woman clad in a flowing white cape and riding a white horse was the leader of a giant women's suffrage parade down Washington’s Pennsylvania Avenue. She carried a streaming banner reading, "Forward into light." Not quite 27 years old, Inez Milholland already had an impressive record of accomplishments.
