The newest store at Ridge Hill had its ribbon-cutting ceremony Friday morning
Bruce Ratner first met Richard Baker three years ago at a convention in Las Vegas. Baker, governor and chief executive of the Hudson's Bay Company, told Ratner, chairman and chief executive of Forest City Ratner Companies, he might be interested in bringing a Lord & Taylor department store to Ridge Hill, one of 32 properties owned and operated by in the New York metro area by Forest City. Hudson's Bay Company owns Lord & Taylor. Nine months after that, the two had an agreement that the department store would come to Ridge Hill, and on Friday morning the store officially opened. “That was in 2009, when the world was really in trouble and nobody really thought about making any deals of anything,” Ratner said. “But nine months later, we sat …

The following information does not indicate a conviction.
A man believed to have robbed Thornwood and Elmsford gas stations on March 1 has been arrested, according to Kieran O'Leary of the Westchester County Department of Public Safety. John Allen, a 40-year-old Yonkers resident, was arrested at his home after police arrived at approximately 1:30 a.m. this morning, O'Leary said.

Claiming your business on Patch offers huge rewards.
Call it a thoroughly modern dilemma. You can get any style of shoe delivered right to your door in 24 hours via the Internet, but must sort through five pages of random Google results just to find the right number for the pizza joint down the street. Oh and P.S. the hours on some robo-generated listing are completely wrong. Well Patch would hate to see anyone pizza-less and hungry (or without those killer boots) so that's why we launched Port Chester Patch in June of 2010 with the area's most comprehensive and detailed business directory, called "Places." You can find descriptions, hours, what credit cards are accepted, even parking — all verified by an actual human being, and all 100 percent local. And no more driving around to a shop …
