DISCOVERED: FAB BLOG FEATURES QUITE A BIT ON ASSORTED CROTON NOTABLES

Welcome to The New Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

Some time ago, one of the Everything Croton Elves came across this rather interesting blog called TRAVALANCHE---The observations of actor, author, comedian, critic, director, humorist, journalist, m.c., performance artist, playwright, producer, publicist, public speaker, songwriter, and variety booker Trav S.D.

There's quite a few posts on assorted Croton notables---sharing some of them here with the promise of more to come:

-----As many of you know, Gloria Swanson was one of the village's most famous residents (you can read more about that here).

TRAVALANCHE has a great post on Swanson and her early slapstick roots; to read it, click here.

------As many of you know, Hlbrook Blinn was one of the village's most famous residents (you can read more about that here)

TRAVALANCHE has an interesting post on Blinn; you can read it here.

-----As many of you know, Lenore Ulric was one of the village's most notable residents; you can read more about that---and her marriage to Sydney Blackmer here in Croton---by clicking here

TRAVALANCHE has a quick post on ULRIC, BELASCO'S BEAUTY; you can read it here.

-----WHILE JACKIE GLEASON was not a Croton resident, he did live nearby and frequently visited assorted village haunts (you can read more about his famous round house here.)
