Familiar Faces @ Edgemont

Here are two faces everyone knows and loves; John Gennnaro, owner of the infamous and beloved Gennnaro's Pizza and Pasta, and Ray Krasniqi. Gennnaro's has been a fixture in our community for 30 years.

 John not only runs a business here, but for 15 years he made time to be one of the crossing guards for the Greenville School.  Gennaro's continues to supply the Edgemont Elementary Schools with pizzas every Friday.

Edgemont loves Gennaro's. Remember to support our local businesses.

Little Known Facts @ Edgemont

For a number of years I've been wondering about the street sign on the corner of Central Park Avenue and Old Army Road. The sign reads Kreiness Corner. I thought it may have been the name of a farm that was on this location many years ago.

I found out from the Greenburgh historian, Frank Jazzo, that the corner was named in the memory of David Kreiness.
Mr. Kreiness served as a director, 2nd vice-president and president of the Edgemont Community Council, and served in a number of positions  in the Greenburgh Civic Association. He lived in Edgemont for 29 years.

Listen up Edgemont! Houses in the area are being robbed. Last Monday, February 13, there was a robbery on Junniper Road. Thieves got into the house by forcing in a window in the back of the house and stole a number of items.   This was the second incident in two days. A robbery also took place on Inverness Road in the Cotswald area on Saturday.  If you see anything suspicious, call the Greenburgh Police at 914 682-5331. Lock all your windows and doors.

Just as I thought. Even the trustworthy GPS doesn't know where Edgemont is. At least we know where to find it.

Ground Hog Day -Give me 6 more weeks of this

Watched Punxsutawney Phil predict 6 more weeks of winter this morning. But with beautiful weather so far, I'll take it.  Here are some views on my walk along the Bronx River on Wednesday when it reached 60 degrees.
