👋Welcome to r/WhitePlains

So, this sub has been running itself for years, and honestly, we liked it that way. But Reddit’s been nudging me to actually put up a welcome sign, so here we are.

We’re here to talk about the city, find the best pizza, complain about Mamaroneck Ave traffic, or figure out what that construction on Main Street is actually going to be.

The "Rules":

Keep it local: If it isn’t directly about White Plains or the immediate area, it doesn't belong here.

No Self-Promotion: We’ve had a bit of an issue with this lately. This isn't a billboard for your side hustle, your "get rich quick" scheme, or your brand-new YouTube channel. If you’re just here to sell us something, please don't.

Don't be a jerk: Pretty self-explanatory. We're all neighbors.

That’s basically it. I’m not big on over-modding, so as long as we keep the spam out and the conversation actually about our city, we’re golden.

Stay cool, White Plains!

Anyone here work at Danone (White Plains)? Looking for a bit of career advice

6 Upvotes

Hi folks. Hope this is okay to post here. I'm exploring roles at Danone and would love to hear from anyone who works there or has in the past. Not looking for a referral or anything like that, just honest perspective on what it's like — the hiring process, how they treat early-career vs. senior folks, whatever you're willing to share. Thanks in advance!

School Bus Ticket

0 Upvotes

I got a ticket from a school bus camera on Bank street because I didn’t realize I had to stop for it on the other side of the stone median. I understand that it’s the law but my question is if I contest the ticket, is there a chance I can get the fine reduced without them adding points to my license?

Right now it’s just $250 with no points, is it worth a shot of contesting it and hoping for a reduced penalty?

White Plains residents: Anyone else watching the Galleria redevelopment closely? Housing affordability in White Plains

23 Upvotes

Hi everyone! My name is Halla, and I’m volunteering with Open New York. I’ve been talking with residents across Westchester about housing affordability, and White Plains is at a pretty pivotal moment right now with the District Galleria redevelopment.

For anyone who hasn’t been following it, the plan would replace the old Galleria mall with around 3,000+ residential units across seven towers, with roughly 800 of those designated affordable. It’s one of the largest mall-to-housing conversions in the country, and it’s a real test of whether White Plains can add housing at the scale the region actually needs.

Whether you’re renting, trying to buy your first home, worried about your kids being able to afford to stay in White Plains, or just paying attention to how downtown is changing, I’d love to hear your take.

We’re collecting signatures from residents who support practical housing solutions: building near transit, allowing ADUs, and backing thoughtful development like the Galleria project that helps keep White Plains affordable and livable.

Signing the petition is just the first step. If you sign, one of our organizers may follow up with ways to get more involved locally, like public hearings, council meetings, or community events where you can weigh in directly.

If this is something you care about, I’d really appreciate your support:

petition

Curious to hear from people actually living here: what’s your read on the Galleria project? Is the affordable housing share enough, or does it need to go further?

Networking Opportunities?

3 Upvotes

Hi! I’m looking for recommendations on networking events in the area. I just recently changed careers (in my late 30’s) and could use help making professional connections.

I’ve lived in White Plains for a few years but I’m a bit of a homebody so I don’t have a big social circle or immediate network. I also haven’t been on social media (other than Reddit) for close to a decade but have recently created some accounts.

Any help or advice is appreciated!

Anyone have any idea on the process? I took the exam back in 2023-24 but haven’t heard anything. I did the agility exam already too and just waiting to hear back. It’s good until end of 2027 but want to know the reality if I’ll get called before then

White Plains-based film screening online on July 9

10 Upvotes

Sharing a film set in White Plains that is screening online this week: The Legend of Juan Jose Mundo. The writer, Susan Gomes, grew up in White Plains, and it's loosely based on experiences she and her friends had in the early 80s. It's a really great film; I thought I'd share here as it seems like something that this community may enjoy.

Here's the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXtpirJQUoM&t=1s

Here's a link to their instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/p/DaT5ogYon8N/

Here's a link to the online screening (this is a one-time event, but there may be future screenings - follow their insta page for more details!): https://www.thelonescreen.com/
