Spring is right around the corner. Let’s collectively hope that Scarsdale Village resurges along with the snowdrops and crocuses. In just the short time since the Insider launched we’ve witnessed a number of store closures, including the Sim Coe beer bar and the folding of DeCicco Family Markets. And don’t forget Dobbs & Bishop Fine Cheese, which melted away faster than a block of Velveeta under a broiler.

The Insider’s main feature this week focuses on the possible disappearance of yet another business: Central Taxi, which has been around for over 100 years. (See “Scarsdale’s Central Taxi May Close Soon.”) Nearly everyone in Scarsdale has counted on them at some point, and its loss would be an agony. The next few days will tell whether this cherished community staple will survive, another thing to hope for.

And yet, the news isn’t all bad. A former Scarsdale resident is receiving a major award (see “Scarsdale Native to Be Honored by Boston School”), and the Greenburgh Student News Network has a brand-new TV episode about law enforcement (see “Student Network Airs New Show About Greenburgh Police”). Let’s keep the good stuff coming—including the ability to call for a no-surge-pricing lift when we need it.

Yours in Scarsdale love,
