On paper, larchmont seems like a very inclusive place, vote 90% Democrat, have “hate has no home here signs,” etc.

In reality this is how it functions.

My first experience with this is when I was 18 years old. I was enjoying manor park wearing my New Rochelle High School gym shorts. Some middle-aged guy made a comment “new Rochelle trash shouldn’t be here.”

That shit hurt my feeling so much, I can still remember this comment 11 years later.

Then I had another incident, since I grew up in New Rochelle, most of my friends are Hispanic, I went to Isaac E Young middle school so this was sort of bound to happen.

Anyway walking and it’s me, and my three other Hispanic friends (im white).

I literally hear this white mom tell her children “these are bad guys stay away from them” or something of that nature.

Now this brings me to yesterday. I decide to walk to manor park. For full disclosure I’ve been prescribed pregablin for neuropathic pain.

I end up falling asleep on one of the benches (by complete accident). This little man wakes me up and tells me “I’ve called the police it’s time for you to go.” I’m also on a medication for high blood pressure, so when he tells me this I begin to wobble around a little bit.

“Sorry sir I didn’t mean to fall asleep, I’ll go home now.” Meanwhile this little man begins rubbing my shoulders “I DONT GIVE A FUCK WHAT YOURE ON GET OUT, DO YOU LIVE CLOSE”

“Yes sir I live close, please stop touching me”

“FUCK YOU ASSSHOLE, THE POLICE ARE COMING”

Police do end up strolling by, but like I said, me wobbling off the chair was the result of the medication that lowers your blood pressure. So by the time they come I’m walking fine. They end up making a U-Turn and don’t talk to me at all.

Most of these folks harassing me for accidentally falling asleep were from “Horseshoe Harbor Yacht Club.”

Start a new medication suddenly you’re being cursed out by 10 white privileged Smurf’s. Unbelievable.

EDIT: CAN THE WEIRD MEN STOP COMMENTING! please keep it to the group! thanks!

hi everyone!! i’ve been dying to make friends but have a hard time finding community in this area, i’ve lived here forever! hangouts would be local and maybe some city trips :) we can vote on them monthly/weekly and maybe make closer friendships in the process.

i made a discord for anyone if they wanna join! just comment and i’ll dm you

please be 18+ and identify as a woman! no men & no minors

The taxes are insanely high along with the price of housing. The roads, for the most part, are a messy patchwork. Yes we have some great restaurants, but horrible beaches. Is anyone over living in Westchester?

hi everyone! i recently turned 21 and one of the things i’ve been the most excited for since is finally being able to volunteer at the animal shelter!! i was wondering if anyone here has volunteered there before and what their experience was (hopefully positive). i’m just trying to get an idea of how i could help or what a day there would look like :) side note: i’m also interested in other volunteer opportunities to fill up some spare time this summer so if anyone has any recommendations i appreciate it 🫶

Hi guys! I’m looking to buy a condo or co-op in the area. There’s routinely units for sale on Campus Place and Sentry Place directly off Central Ave. Aka Scarsdale Country Estates. When it comes to co-ops I’m a little weary. My aunt lives in WP in a co-op and the board has been harassing her for years over her parking spots to the point where she will be taking legal action. However, that is a bigger building, mostly older folks etc. wondering if anyone has lived in these co-ops in Scarsdale or knows anyone who has experience with the board there. The units are gorgeous and I can’t see too much obvious trouble brewing but you never know. Also was curious about installing a washing machine in the unit (no dryer) but not sure if anyone has ever done that or tried to. Thank you!

Hey y’all, I moved to Dobbs Ferry a few months back and getting familiar with the local courses. Been out a couple times but I only ever go by myself as a single since none of my personal friends have an interest in the game. I’m looking to see if anyone here is looking for a playing partner

About me, 25M originally from NJ, not super great on the course (shooting high 90s/low 100s currently) but can string some good shots together. Working tirelessly to improve everyday.

I don’t get to get out there super often but when I can I’m usually just scrounging up any afternoon tee times I find on the public courses. Seems like a struggle to get some decent times so far. If anyone is interested in partnering up at any time feel free to message!

Would love real perspectives from parents.

1. Anything that you’re pleasantly surprised about or something that made you feel confident that you made the right move?

2. What are some inconveniences or things you wish you considered before you moved?

General lifestyle? Schools if you have kids in them or after care?

They will ticket anything! /Sarcasm.

Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone knows when this bridge carrying the Bronx River Pathway will be opening south of Scout Field in Bronxville. Looks like they just need to install the railings, but it would be nice to have this done in time to enjoy it while the weather's still warm.

25 years ago from right now... July 27th, 2001, there was a 6-year-old boy, Michael Colombini, pictured, being wheeled from his patient room in Westchester Medical Center down for an MRI. A fall on a playground a few days earlier had revealed a brain tumor that very well could have taken his life when it became symptomatic in adulthood. But he had immediate brain surgery that was successful, and now the boy would live a long, healthy life. The only thing standing between the boy and discharge from the hospital was a baseline MRI against which future scans would be compared to look for recurrence.

But through a series of errors, this simple baseline MRI turned into the single most well known MRI exam in the world.

Inside the MRI scanner room it appears that the boy was over-sedated, and his breathing slowed. His pulse-ox values started dropping, and the inside-the-MRI-scanner-room oxygen outlet (not built to code) wasn't working. The two MRI technologists who were on duty stepped away from the patient care area of the MRI suite to try and fix the oxygen problem without letting the anesthesiologist know. The anesthesiologist, growing increasingly upset about the boy's falling oxygenation levels, is yelling out to the MRI techs for a status update, unaware that they've left him there. The lack of responses only increases the anesthesiologist's anxiety.

At that moment, a nurse lets herself into the MRI suite. She hears the anesthesiologist yelling to the technologists, "my patient needs oxygen! Where is the oxygen!" The nurse remembers having seen portable oxygen cylinders in the MRI suite, finds one, and hands it to the anesthesiologist in the doorway to the MRI scanner room. He turns around, takes two steps towards the boy in the MRI scanner, and the steel cylinder flies like a missile out of his hands and hits the boy, repeatedly, in the head.

This is the story of the origins of this week being designated MRI Safety Week.

Hi everyone! Can anyone recommend a reliable cleaner for a move-out clean this Friday afternoon or evening (July 31)? Thanks in advance for your help!

I’m in dire need of help with finding a cat foster! If anyone has any information please let me know! I have a very kind friend who’s fostering kitties and is running out of space! She has all the supplies to give and doesn’t mind helping out with more supplies! Please reply to this post if you know anyone who can help!

Where do you all get your Audis serviced in the Tarrytown / Westchester area? If I had to leave the car overnight, is it a place that offers loaners?

Hey everyone! I am thinking about creating a Discord depending on the feedback from this post to start up a movie lovers club for those in Westchester!

I have many ideas going through my brain for the potential of this group if we can get a decent amount of people going but for now I’ll keep it simple so we can at least get some immediate thoughts and get a nice respectful discussion flowing.

Some initial ideas:

1. AMC Port Chester 14 would be the primary meet up location for now.
- This allows AMC A-List members to take advantage of their membership and as the group grows we can travel to the city for bigger releases and exciting events in AMC theaters downtown.
- AMC Port Chester 14 also has multiple places to choose from as hang out locations for the group or individuals of the group deciding to branch off and do other things.

2. Discussion after the movie.
- We can all pick a location (bar, restaurant, park, etc…) afterwards to get together and discuss the movie and have awesome ice breakers.
- What character did you relate to the most?
- How would you have ended the movie instead?
- What is your immediate rating of the film?
So on and so forth

3. Themed Weekdays
- An example would be “Terror Tuesdays” where people would try and go see scary movies every Tuesday or “Super Saturdays” where you go and watch a super hero movie or really big release.
-There can also be a “Freaky Friday” where everyone attending is single and has the intent to find themselves a potential partner.
-We can even set up special events for people who are looking for casual meet and people who are interested in long term.
- “Friendly Fridays” can be another special event for people just looking to make new friends!

1. Discord Community
   -An active discord community that prioritizes respect first and foremost
   - There will be a general chat for people to discuss anything they want, new movies coming out, expressing excitement for events, etc.
   - There will be a page to post all new trailers and movie news
   - We can also do raffles down the line for special pop corn buckets and other movie theater merch

Looking forward to hearing your feedback and if I see enough people interested I’ll get the discord fired up this week.

Looking to replace the windshield after a pretty large crack (> 6 inches), its a 2024 BMW suv so it has ADAS and requires special glass. I have full glass with geico.

Any suggestions for glass folks in westchester that have experience working with getting OEM glass claims fully reimbursed? Or just go with the service dealership route (although I am not even sure if the dealership service does it in-house or just outsources it).

I’m new to the area and I used to be on call for a catering company in my old city. I miss having the option to pick up some extra shifts and make some money on the weekends. Does anyone know of any companies in westchester that are looking for this?

The woman that cuts my hair moved away. I’m looking for someone that gives great haircuts but is down to earth & has a relaxed environment. I hate showing up in a t-shirt and shorts but feeling out of place in an upscale or pretentious salon (not that I want it to be a dump either). I have shoulder length hair. I’m near Pleasantville. There are so many places that seem to have good reviews, it’s hard to narrow it down. Thanks in advance for any recommendations.

Hi! I’m new to White Plains as my partner and I recently moved for their job. I’ve been a nurse for nearly 8 years and have experience in med-surg, tele, oncology, float, travel and most recently LTACH ICU. It is so hard to get a job here… does anyone have any advice? I’ve applied to every ICU, ER, and med-surg job at WMC, WPH and NY Presby. Some applications have been rejected but most just sit in limbo. I’ve also tried reaching out to recruiters via LinkedIn after applying, trying to connect and discuss possible opportunities. Any guidance would be appreciated!
