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.

former village resident was once again waxing nostalgic for the days when she would shop with her Mom for the Easter holiday right here in the village. And so, by special request...Vintage Easter Shopping in Croton....some links you might enjoy:

There was the trip to Swanson's for daffodils, lilies and of course, to order Mom's orchid corsage. Friday nights during Lent meant fish from Cole's Market or a night out for "fried flounder" at "the diner"----Easter cards, chenille chicks, the latest comic books and chocolate came from Pop Berger's--while straw baskets, plastic eggs, lace-trimmed ankle socks (to go with those new Easter shoes) and other assorted odds and ends came from Elliott's and the old Grand Union (DON'T FORGET THOSE TRIPLE S BLUE STAMPS!)

IN THE NEWS---WHY WOKE FRISCO FED CHIEF MISSED SILICON VALLEY BANK'S WARNING SIGNS

Why woke ‘Frisco Fed chief missed Silicon Valley Bank’s warning signs--PAUL SPERRY-- Wokeness has replaced competence and merit across the banking sector, and San Francisco Fed Chief Mary Daly is the poster child of this pernicious trend.

A protege of Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and short-list candidate for Federal Reserve vice chair, Daly was supposed to be supervising Silicon Valley Bank but apparently was too busy playing politics and pushing woke agendas to regulate rogue banks like SVB, the second-biggest bank failure on record.

Daly had other priorities, including climate change, George Floyd and Black Lives Matter, inequities between blacks and whites, LGBTQ+ rights and a host of other woke social-justice issues that had nothing to do with banking and finance.

Daly’s Fed bio gushes she’s committed to “understanding the economic and financial risks of climate change and inequities.” Never mind the more existential threat of banks in her jurisdiction amassing mortgage bonds with longer maturities that exposed investors to greater interest-rate risk.
