I agree 100%. I was there as well last Sat. and brought my high school age daughter. Most of her…Read More White Plains High School friends were there with their families. It was a great day for everyone.

Rob Astorino claims "Families don't go to Playland anymore." But when I was there on a…Read More rainy cold opening day on Saturday, I was SURROUNDED by nothing but families - even HIS family was there. They all came out in the lousy weather to have a good time. Parents and kids and grandparents and every combo of aunt uncle cousin etc. you could imagine, all different colors, ethnicities, cultural backgrounds, many different languages being spoken, everyone happy to see the place open again, getting along, smiling, having a good time. I think I was about the only person there who *wasn't* with kids. Families families families. But...don't you know...families don't go to Playland anymore? People love Playland. They want to see it brought back to life as a vibrant amusement park, not dismantled for a grassy field and indoor sports facility.

You must be the only person in Westchester that doesn't have wonderful feelings/memories about…Read More Playland. It is so sad.

In response to Frank Vecchione, Animal Rights is one of the most important issues our country &…Read More our world faces. The EU banned seal fur trade, yet still, every year, the Canadian Government permits neanderthal-like men to crush cute Baby Seal Pup skulls with baseball bats. Even though it's not profitable, it happens. In South Dakota, the law can't charge you with a felony for being cruel & malicious to your pets. The pig "processors" pull the pig's teeth out with pliers weeks before the slaughter so they can't chew through the wire, Egg-laying hens are starved to manipulate the laying cycle & their beaks are broken off. In China, they skin animals alive.
Some people may not think those things are important because it's not happening to them, but it IS happening to a sentient, conscious, mind-of-a-5-year-old-human being.with emotions and pain sensory & it's important that that's discussed, as unpleasant as it is.
People talk about how graphic PETA is, but how is that different than the nightly news showing images of war and/or genocide?

Kim, I'd like to say thank you to you for volunteering your time at the New Rochelle Humane Society.…Read More They very much do important work there, and it must be incredibly hard to work there, seeing all those innocent, precious animals every day that just need a loving home. It must be so tempting to bring all the animals home.
Thank you to Michael Woyton & Patch for consistently reporting on these animals. They need our awareness & help. I can't believe that people still move without their pets, or get rid of them because someone is "allergic."

So that's a denial by you right? I'm not sure we can trust you on this one smelly. Your screen name…Read More and Mr. Floatie have what is called in some circles "synergy." Come clean. Clear the air.
But smelly, did you see what the over 1.2 million weekend readers of Newsday saw a few days ago? A story with a photo galley about Hen Island big enough to choke a festering horse trough full of skeeters. Now the network affiliate TV stations are circling and building story files. Plunkett's DOH crew is likely calling in the crisis team. Look here - subscription required -
"There is no central sewage system or electricity, other than at the handful of houses that have their own generators or solar power. There are no roads or telephones, either. People get their water from cisterns that collect rain from rooftops. And that's how the people of Hen Island like it. Well, not everyone."

Looking forward to another great season!! Controversies aside, this stadium is far and away one of…Read More the best things to happen in Rockland in a long, long time. Go check it out - a great time for any age, at a reasonable price, in a beautiful facility! I hope they have the summer concerts again too!

Smellypants, I give you a good ribbing here and there, but you should suggest to the owner that they…Read More present some music of the type you are describing. Their programming has been fairly eclectic so they might be willing to give it a shot. Otherwise I hope you have a chance to visit the entertainment complex in Branson, MO - there's a whole lot to do there and the entertainment definitely fits the definition of "good clean". PS I would be remiss if I didn't point out however that Captain and Tenille shows these days are notorious for rampant nudity, gang violence, and open heroin use (*** kidding!!! ***)
smellypants April 29, 2013 at 12:06 am
No Craig, I wouldn't complain if they had bands like Captain and Tenille, the Osmonds or the Back…Read More Street Boys - good, clean music.

Good morning are any of you up yet? I am going to the gym at Doral and then having lunch by the…Read More pool today. Swing by and say hello. Great day for counting planes flying overhead. I got the 1st round. How many more days till Toll Brothers has houses up? Short walk to the rinks from there. I can't wait.

went to the 4/23 show, drove up from nyc - also saw Dylan on opening night and Prine a week and a…Read More half ago. Performance was okay. Stopped in local liquor store to buy some booze I could not find in the city. Parked just on other side of the tracks sine the MTA lot was closed and for the first time saw what looked like the "nice" side of the village. Now I know some places I will definitely come back to for dinner before my next show. Cops outside the venue patrolling Shakedown St were very pleasant and good at keeping the peace. Venue is very well run and I am very glad to see it being successful. I will be back and spending more time and $ in your town - Thanks!

Been to four shows so far and one more lined up. It's been a great thing having Furthur come to…Read More town. Looking forward to many more great shows at the Cap in the future.

Update: The Copa shows for Tuesday and Wednesday are now canceled. Here is the message they posted…Read More on Facebook: Thanks all for coming out and supporting the CaptotheCopa shows. We had a blast and put on some great music. Unfortunately, we have to cancel the remaining shows w/ Jay Lane. He had a blast over five nights and promises to return.
We'll hold a free show Wed. night w/ Steve Liesman and the Mooncussers www.facebook.com/steveandthemooncussers in the small bar at the Copa beginning around 11. We'll be joined by local vocalist Meredith Dimenna of Rye and Jason Crosby could stop by again for a few tunes.
Please join us and thanks for all your support and especially to all the musicians who came out to play.

Bob, we'll miss your voice. But as you can see from "Build the rink" and other flacks…Read More posting here for Reckson and the Megarink people, your civic virtues aren't shared by the folks on the other side. So we can use reinforcements whenever and wherever we see them!

Thank you, Dick, for saying you'll leave it to me. I have other fish I'm presently frying and so…Read More made comments on this thread only to reflect my assessment of "right and wrong" when it comes to the posted dialog and business positions. So, putting this particular issue back where it belongs, I'll leave it with the residents of Rye Brook to decide how the property within their community boundaries is used.

After many years, it's great to see that the Cap is back...and it looks and sounds better than ever!…Read More It's great to see people flocking to Port Chester for the Furthur shows to share in the good vibes!

I wish people were this interested in the MEGARINKS being proposed by SL Greene at Reckson Executive…Read More Park in Rye Brook. They are trying to destroy our community. They only care about their bottom line and do not care about the Village or its resident's safety.

I watched the whole Astorino press conference video on www.lausdeo10580.com and he said a "ride…Read More plan" was due from SPI in the near future. This I believe will be the 1st and only SPI official plan showing what EXACTLY is staying and going. Wouldn't iit be nice if this had been released in - October 2012?
