Response: The Purple Monkey was in the Croton Commons; it contributed to a number of local fundraisers back in 2011 and 2012 but believe it sold and went out west in 2013 or so.

A reader notes that many times last names are spelled wrong on the new CROTON NEWS SITE.
Response; The site is AI driven and apparently "sound oriented". Corrections are made eventually and it's learning last names. The most recent entry is 4/21 and the ZBA meeting

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.
As many of you know, the CROTON COMMUNITY COLLECTIVE BOE FORUM was 4/23/26--and standing room only; you can view the video at CCC Croton BOE Forum 4.23.26 and it is recommended that you do so.
The blog has received many cogent---and some not so cogent--comments about the event. It is important however, that you form your own opinions and vote accordingly. Some edited commentary is bulleted below for your consideration:
*****Contrary to social media chatter, the location was donated for the event; the Collective did not rent the room so to speak. In fact, St. Augustine and Mother Jenny were thanked early on for their generosity.
*****Dominating the evening in assorted forms---debate, concerns and discussion regarding the overwhelming use of technology in the schools, the possible return of "old school penmanship" for lack of another way to put it, AI, and Ed-Tech in general. Again, standing room only--and evidence that a great many parents have had quite enough of being ignored---but again, you should really watch the video for yourself.
*****The Croton Community Collective did an excellent job pulling the event together in this editor's opinion. The forum had a certain authenticity that these affairs seldom do.
Again, you can view the video at CCC Croton BOE Forum 4.23.26 and it is recommended that you do so.
