More New Metro North Train Cars to Love – Hate
You may recall our conflicted feelings about the new M-8 rail cars on the Metro-North Red Line. Your chances of riding a cleaner, more comfortable | more sterile, computer-voice train between Connecticut and Grand Central just increased. Metro-North and the State of Connecticut added more new cars to the New Haven Line. As of Monday, [...]

‘Affordable Housing’ to Begin Construction in March in Larchmont
The developer of the proposed "affordable" housing" units at 2101-2105 Palmer Avenue in Larchmont says he will move forward after the Planning Board extended its approval of the project Monday night.

Let's be clear - the truest thing he said was "spoiled brats". A bus full of evil kids from Scarsdale who were chucking stuff at the bus driver? I'm sure their parents were nowhere to be found. Rich, entitled kids showing a lack of respect for their elders and making fun of people in less-than-white collar jobs.Cabby says:
With Parker having the support of Otis, Myers, Latimer and Bramson, Tom's chances of winning a primary are slim to nothing.Cabby says:
And Petco was a Duane Reade for a very short period of time. What were they thinking when they opened across the street from CVS?WTF??? says:
closing Weaver Street Bridge before the school year ends ? how did local officials let THAT happen ? INSANE. I saw that children will still be able to walk but still crazy, they are going to have the mother of all traffic jams on Chatsworth bridge and Rockland won't be much better ...crazy they could not schedule this for July/ August / wait just three more weeks.J.

Agreed. Breast cancer (like all cancers) does not care what your economic or social circumstances are. And the fatality rates are inversely related to access to medical care (preventive care and treatment). And that access has both a geographic component and an economic component. And also an education component. None of that should be the case. But it is. Jolie is in fact brave, for bringing her experience public even though it will negatively impact her sex-goddess status, on which she relies for her profession. There are a lot of people on this planet working to increase access to cancer treatment. My own efforts, humble though they are, have mostly been via the Komen organization (which, despite "political" problems, still gives more to BC work than any group on earth). We just have to keep plugging away at it. There's really no choice. Everyone can contribute something. What Angelina Jolie has contributed is huge, even if she does nothing else (which I doubt). Respect, for that.anonymous says:
I obviously respect her opinion but I am in totally different camp. It's like celebrities can't win. AJ made a decision based on her personal circumstances and decided to share it. She could have kept it a secret and helped no one. Instead, she has probably made many women feel better about having to go through something pretty life-altering. (She did minimize the pain/recovery aspect which is unfortunate but if that is her experience then what else could she say.) It seems that nothing is ever enough for some people. Any time someone does a good deed, people will say they need to do more. I don't think she glamorized her circumstances in any way and I respect her for coming forward and sharing as much as she did. Also, I would be willing to bet she will begin (if she hasn't already) to devote much of her considerable resources to BC research and to making testing and treatment available to low income women. But even if she doesn't and chooses to give all her money to help children in third world nations, don't you think that's her choice?observer says:
Excellent commentary. The sad fact is most people can't imagine the impact of a large development like this - especially as there is no comparable structure in Mamaroneck or Larchmont. It is convenient to accept the developers glossy brochure and think these condos fit into our community. I have heard it said that the only people impacted will be nearby residents. This monstrosity will impact every resident of Larchmont and Mamaroneck - especially those with school-age children. Perhaps the closing of the Weaver Street bridge will heighten awareness of the terrible traffic conditions already existing in this town and get more people to question the wisdom of shoving 120+ condo units on top of our schools and into the middle of a densely populated residential area. Or maybe the opening of the Wahlgreens at the front door to the Hommocks will create a enough of a nightmare at dropoff and pickup that this community will remember that if you want to raise children in a safe and nice place, you need to protect the community before it is too late!
