And Then It Was Gone...Things To Do, Shop and Eat In Beacon Guides 11/17/2024

If you wanted to walk into a shoe store to buy shoes, and you do it in the Fishkill Town Center, you will discover that if it's been a month or two since you've been, you will have missed your chance. Famous Footwear and the Regal Cinema movie theater are gone. Thanks to early October reporting from local radio station WPDH, this article at A Little Beacon Blog provides more explanation. Read Now > Business is bustling in Beacon. There is a lot of news to report. Even as we bring you business closure stories (like the movie theater and shoe store), business opening stories are hot on their heels. Take these two stories, because we already have followup articles to write for both of them. A reader wrote into A Little Beacon Blog, asking if Big Vinny’s & Donnoli was closed. A few days after the question, the eatery was boarded up. A few days after the boards went up, scaffolding went up. The answer to this question is here in this article. Then, the followup to this story that published last evening is in this newsletter below. After ALBB published, more answers came in. Meanwhile, happy shopping, eating and attending.
