FOUR ITEMS FROM THE MAILBOX


FOUR items:

Getting reports of midnight loud music again which your editor did not hear but sort of felt the passing vibration; it was transitory and gone quickly--at least here. If anyone else experienced more, you should really report it to the village. Have to admit it was annoying on a weeknight, however temporary.

AND

So---once again, there have been random complaints recently about some article links posted here only being accessible via a paid subscription to the media source in question....

Yes, from time to time, we stumble upon items of potential interest that are behind a paywall (this frequently is the case at LoHud, THE NY SUN and some Examiner News articles, and substacks for example)--but like to offer our readers the option of saying yes or no anyway.

These days, local journalism, information, and news often come at a cost. It's your decision to spend....or not.....yes it can add up---which is why we recommend that you do your due diligence before you write that check.

Once again, life is not free.  And once again, it's time to get over it.

AND

GETTING COMPLAINTS that this blog sometimes features AI-driven sites. This too is life. Time to get over it.

AND

A reader has fond memories of the "old drive-in" and remembers seeing some sort of "articles directory" here but can't find it.

Response: You may mean this: EverythingCroton: BY SPECIAL REQUEST, 2025 UPDATED, AN INDEX 2 THE "WHAT'S PLAYING AT THE STARLIGHT DRIVE-IN" POSTS @ EVERYTHING CROTON AND MORE
