Valhalla’s $400,000 Lot Extension

The Town of Mount Pleasant is aiming to add 104 spaces to the lot at Valhalla train station, reports The Examiner. The state orginally approved the plan, which calls for an extra 27,000 square feet of paved surface, back in 2003. But the town did not go forward with it at the time because the lot wasn’t usually full.

It’s a different story these days, says The Examiner. The plan would take 6-10 months to complete and would see the town plan a row of evergreens in between the extended lot and the Bronx River.

‘Examiner’ Pays Visit to Hummerville

As we exited the 5:46 last night, Hawthorne riders were met at the stairs by a fresh-faced young lady handing out equally fresh copies of The Examiner. The Examiner is a weekly paper that launched last fall, covering Pleasantville and Mount Kisco. The paper has since commenced coverage of Chappaqua and, as we saw in the issue the young lady was handing out yesterday, has recently begun covering the Thorns–Thornwood and Hawthorne–as well.

We think this is excellent. Maybe we just love the smell of newsprint, but in an era when large dailies are sacking people by the hundreds and someone’s actually running a Newspaper Death Watch, some crazy folks are actually expanding their newspaper’s reach.

As publisher Adam Stone said in his introductory editorial:  “We’re here to photograph your triumphs, to chronicle your tragedies, pay tribute to your good deeds, and capture your misdeeds. Newspapers aren’t dead. They’ll only perish if those who run them suffocate them.”
