DJ DANIEL---AN UPDATE

BREAKING UPDATE: DJ Daniel has just experienced a new development that has left everyone heartbroken…

According to his family, DJ Daniel's condition has entered a more worrying phase as doctors have discovered new tumors, indicating that the disease has progressed beyond previous assessments. Notably, recent medical images also show that many other areas have been affected, causing a rapid change in his condition.

News of DJ Daniel's "unstable health after brain surgery" has sparked a wave of prayers on social media. Some posts say the DJ is in serious condition after the surgery.

And what makes this story so captivating… is that despite his fear, the DJ is trying to appear strong like a "little warrior"—sleeping alone through days that even adults would find difficult.

AND NOW A WORD FROM ROB ARMANINI OF FEED THE BIRDS

Each day, a significant captive audience passes through our village.

I first noticed an increase in vehicular traffic during COVID. This increase has continued unabated; in fact, as someone who’s worked & lived here quite a long time now, I can state with confidence that our streets have never been busier. Route 129, Maple Street, North & South Riverside Avenue serve as arterials from points north & east to/from the largest Metro-North station in the system.

So, what are we doing to captivate this audience?

Not nearly enough, IMneverHO.

Whether we admit it or not; we, for the foreseeable future are, and will remain an ‘automobile culture’.
So what to do? Embrace them. Accomodate them. Captivate them. Let’s promote the streets they frequent as centers of commerce.

-start with ample, convenient parking.
-rezone our gateways & (formerly) commercial districts to encourage food, beverage, and retail. (Right now, all our districts have been zoned to accommodate multi-family, residential-only development; a death-knell for small-town quality of life.)

Let’s grow our village’s tax base in low-impact ways. Let’s seek out the unique (co-working facilities), and the basics (hardware store, general store.)

It’s never too late.

There is this item from 1958 (click on the photo) but the Croton Historical Society definitely has a file. We've seen it. Contact them directly for more info Croton Historical Society
