Pope Related Traffic Expected Saturday

According to this update from Westchester County, you can expect some extra traffic nearby on Saturday due to the  Pope's visit:

Because the Pope is coming from New York City to St. Joseph's Seminary in Yonkers SATURDAY, the section of the Cross County Parkway from I-87/Central Park Avenue to the Saw Mill River Parkway will be closed in both directions for much of the day for security reasons. The road closures are expected to last until 8 p.m. 25,000 people are expected at the Seminary. Major traffic is also expected on the Saw Mill River Parkway, the Sprain Brook Parkway and the Major Deegan.

Or, as we used to say as kids: "Good Yontiff," said The Pontiff!

Dobbs Ferry in a Yummy NY Post Headline

We know that this is not technically Ardsley news, but you may remember that back in October, the owner of the Brick Oven Pizza Shop in Dobbs Ferry was arrested for allegedly forging $50 bills in his office at the pizza parlor. Well, yesterday he plead guilty to one count of first-degree forgery in Westchester County Court. Luckily, the New York Post has it all covered with a story carrying this deliciously "Post-like" headline (that was too good NOT to share): Pizza Man: I Made a Lot of Phony Dough
