by Kathy Savolt and Cindy Goldstein - In the last edition of The Mamaroneck Observer, we wrote an article prompted by the events at the April 13, 2026, meeting of the Village of Mamaroneck (VOM) Board of Trustees (BOT). We included what we could piece together of the inception of LMC Media (LMC), the tri-municipal collaboration as well as providing information on how the funding flowed from the cable companies to LMC and the Villages of Larchmont (VOL) and Mamaroneck and T

LMC Media respectfully submits the following comments in response to the Mamaroneck Observer article, “Should the Village Save LMC Media?” published April 15, 2026. We appreciate the opportunity to provide important context, clarify our history, and address several unintended misconceptions. Last Monday, residents from every corner of our community (grandparents, high schoolers, podcasters, even a four-year-old fan of LMC Kids) packed the Village Board of Trustees meeting

The Team by Marina Kiriakou - We see them almost daily - those essential workers who play a crucial role in our lives, whisking away the debris of our existence before it overtakes us. With the familiar hum of their 60,000-pound trucks approaching, we know they’re on their way, silently maintaining the order of our neighborhoods. To express my gratitude, I decide to learn more about the man behind the wheel on my street - Vinny Crupi. A Morning with Vinny My ride-along

Although the Tentative Budget showed the same payment amount as the current year ($250,000), the Village had sent a draft contract to LMC with a lesser amount proposed as minimum compensation for services provided ($90,350) with ad

by Meg Yergin - This is a story of tens of thousands of Village taxpayer dollars spent on legal fees, neighbors fighting to protect their property rights, and the lack of enforcement of subdivision requirements intended to protect Village residents. Legal Settlement Late last year, the Board of Trustees voted to settle protracted and expensive litigation with the developer AVC Properties (AVC). Included in this agreement are two separate AVC subdivision projects. One s

Attilio (Leo) Guarascio , of Mamaroneck, passed away peacefully on Friday, March 27th at the age of 97. Born on August 12, 1928, in Dipignano, Italy, to Giovanni and Angelina Guarascio, Attilio brought with him a deep appreciation for family, hard work, and tradition when he immigrated to the United States.

by Meg Yergin - Many Village residents are familiar with sitting through multiple traffic-light cycles on Mamaroneck Avenue. The stretch between Waverly Avenue and the Metro-North overpass near Columbus Park is particularly congested during peak commuting hours — slowing parents getting children to school, residents heading to work, and potentially emergency response vehicles. A proposed 60-unit mixed-use development at 546 Mamaroneck Avenue could add to that pressure. T

To address this, Police Chief PJ Trujillo asked that
