Make a Wish
With each new year comes a new set of hopes, dreams, and wishes for the next 365 days. Our staff is no exception. Here, they share some of their own:
 |
After Martin Scorsese was spotted all around town in 2012, I wish for Westchester to keep raising its pop-cultural profile in 2013. Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street doesn’t have a release date yet, but, when World War Z comes out in June, I hope the Battle of Yonkers actually looks like Yonkers! —Marisa LaScala Articles Editor |
 |
I wish that every road whose name ends in “Parkway” wouldn’t flood after it rains, and that the construction that was already in progress onI-287 when I moved to Westchester in 1997 will be completed. (I know—I aim high in my wishes.) —Robert Schork Senior Editor |
 |
I hope to take advantage of all of the arts and cultural offerings in Westchester. There is so much right here in our backyard—for both children and adults—that I never seem to have time to explore or enjoy. This year will be different! —Halina Sabath Deputy Creative Director |
 |
I’m asking Santa for wind- and flood-proof infrastructure. —Ben Brody Associate Editor |
 |
I’m hoping for a power-full year with uninterrupted access to electricity, heat, water, and Internet. That, or a generator. —Nancy L. Claus Features Editor |
 |
I wish good health and happiness for everyone I love—and even for those I don’t particularly love. And I’m hoping to gain some confidence in the term “200-year flood zone,” which obviously hasn’t held true in our area for the past couple of years. —Carol Caffin Chief Copy Editor |
 |
I wish that the work on 287 would finally be completed. And that Starbucks in Rye would deliver or offer a curbside pickup service for those work days I can’t find a parking spot and need my afternoon caffeine fix! —Laurie Yarnell Features Editor |
 |
I wish that Jean-Georges would open his Pound Ridge restaurant already. My taste buds are getting impatient! —John Bruno Turiano Managing Editor |
As for me, I wish good health and happiness to all of you and your families. We have a lot to be thankful for; lets not forget that! And it’s also my wish that you enjoy this issue—and every issue—of Westchester Magazine in 2013.
