YONKERS TIMES--CLEAN VOLUNTEERS HAUL RECORD 15000 LBS OF TRASH AT SILVER LAKE PARK

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

YONKERS TIMES----Close to 20 volunteers gathered near Silver Lake Park for the monthly cleanup hosted by the Croton Litter-Free Education Advocacy Neighborhood (CLEAN) initiative on Saturday, June 6. The event, focused on a decades-old dumpsite, yielded an estimated record-breaking 1,500 pounds of recovered debris and litter from the sensitive environmental areas surrounding the park and the Croton River. Car batteries, auto parts, a broken toilet and countless glass items were among those removed from the area.

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.

For those who can't get enough "trains", we've been hearing about a facebook page called the New York Central Railroad Fangroup . 

This wonderful old station curtain turned up; they were reportedly in use up until the 70's, and it's allegedly the "real deal". Click on the image. Those still on facebook and with an interest in such things might find it a worthwhile page to join.
