ABG finds it interesting that there is so much, yet so little, to do in the Town of Greenburgh. It's not that you can't find something to keep you busy. Quite the contrary. If you are into physicality as a “time-killer”, then the Theodore Young Community Center might be for you. Out for a stroll, there are numerous parks and fields to visit. In fact, the park behind the Nissan dealer on Rt.119 across from KMart, off Yellowstone Avenue has a great track. Added entertainment can be found when the little leaguers are practicing.
But what does Greenburgh, the Town proper, actually offer to it's overtaxed residents? The Supervisor posts events on his blog each week. But he’s actually only copying from someone else. In school, we teach this as cheating. We would think the Supervisor would have his finger on the pulse of Greenburgh, where, in reality, he has his finger on Greenburgh’s jugular, choking the life out it. While the Villages are part of the Town and technically “count”, we feel they should be considered to be on the outside as they have their own Mayors, Managers, and/or Village Boards. His list, as copied from the www.RiverTownsGuide.com, has nothing that is actually for residents of the Town. Why not?
Every day when ABG scans the Journal News newsletter, we specifically look to see what is going on in Greenburgh. The only events we ever see taking place are held at the Greenburgh Library or the Greenburgh Nature Center. Once the summer arrives, weather permitting, the Town Recreation Department will show recently released movies at Veteran Park, and we applaud that. Is this all we have to offer? We certainly hope to be proven wrong.
Please post a comment with your suggestions of things to do in Greenburgh. There is no wrong answer as long as it's in Greenburgh and not a Village. We wait with genuine enthusiasm for your suggestions.

The Greenburgh Nature Center is not a part of the government of the Town of Greenburgh. The Greenburgh Nature Center is an independent not-for-profit organization that obtains about 30% +/- of it annual revenues from the unincorporated taxpayers of the Town
ReplyDeleteIn the summer, there are the men's softball leagues and the kid's summer camp. Since we have a resident artist on staff at Town Hall, perhaps she could teach art when she's not hanging other artists work on the walls of Town Hall. The police have a bicycle safety day once a year too.
ReplyDeletePaul Feiner trying to speak coherently is entertaining although extremely boring.
