A MESSAGE FROM GROUCHY GABE

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

A letter from Grouchy Gabe, The Gazette 3/29 to 4/4/12—thanking Bob Wintermeier, with permission to post.

To the editor: This is a “sweet and short” letter to thank Mr. Robert Wintermeier for his “please open your eyes” letter – very precise, to the point and with true facts. Thank you also for noticing the upper village shops’ participation and donations to multiple events held in the “village.”

Please read his letter if you haven’t yet!

THE STARLIGHT DRIVE-IN, A FOLLOW-UP, 1956

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

 

Because we have gotten so many new requests for follow-up articles on the old THE STARLIGHT DRIVE-IN, (you can see parts 1 & 2 from 2011 here http://everythingcroton.blogspot.com/2011/08/croton-memories-starlight-drive-in_15.html AND http://everythingcroton.blogspot.com/2011/08/more-croton-memories-more-on-starlight.html), we thought this was a good time to show you what was playing in 1956, courtesy of the Croton-on-Hudson Historical Society archives of course.  Click on the photos.

1956, THE MIGHTY ATOM, WIND TESTS AT WHAT WILL BECOME INDIAN POINT

Recently one of our older Croton residents has been telling us about the initial days of Buchanan's Indian Point and recommended that we take a look at the The Croton on Hudson Historical Society's archives -- with a particular emphasis on the mid-1950's to the late 1960's. We couldn't resist and so...click on the photo...more in the months ahead.

CALLING ALL CROTON KNITTERS: Continuing our new series here at EverythingCroton: THE VINTAGE KNITTER!

Some are gorgeous—others are wild and wacky like this one—FLUFFY RUFFLES! For your windows! For your flower pots! From the late 1940’s. Click on the photo for instructions and print. Thanks again Hallie! This one REALLY made us smile!
