A reader says that "back in the day" scandal-plagued Joey Buttafucco was "banned from the village".  Is this true?

Response: Answered this one before but the response must have been missed:

Well, not quite banned but not exactly welcomed either. We'll let the article do the talking. Go to EverythingCroton: 1994, JOEY BUTTAFUCCO, A WELCOME GUEST ON HOWARD STERN, BUT NOT IN CROTON

A reader asks: You had a strange article about Gloria Swanson and her entourage, in so many words. I can't find it....

Response: You may possibly mean this one? Go to EverythingCroton: VINTAGE CROTON--1926---GLORIA SWANSON AND HER CREW

A reader: I distinctly remember a car painted with a SCREAM motif somewhere in the village many years ago. Can you help?
