“If you build it, he will come.” These words, made famous in the modern day fairy tale, Field of Dreams, would seem a perfect platform for the launch of our very first issue of Inside Armonk: the Magazine for North Castle and Beyond.
After all, you built it, and here we are! The recent opening of Armonk Square created a physical and cultural town center, becoming a beacon that calls many from near and far.
And, while Armonk has always been one of Westchester’s crown jewels, it now shines bigger and brighter than ever before. We’re thrilled to be part of what’s going on; a resource for information and a forum for community topics and events.
History and popular culture are rife with renaissance stories. Whether referring to the “capital R” Renaissance that brought Europe out of darkness, or the smaller but much-closer-to-home renaissance of the hamlet of Armonk New York, stories of re-birth abound and draw us to them.
Yes, from the smallest of children to the more senior among us, we all love a good “once upon a time.” The familiar cadences and characters soothe us, as the expectation of a happily-ever-after gives us much to look forward to with pleasure.
We now invite you to sit back and settle in for our version. Enjoy our look at Armonk’s storied past. Read about your renowned school system, and check out your local library. Take us along as you head to a local café, and share a shot of conversation along with your latte. Working out later today, perhaps with a friend? Discuss our fitness and friendship article and watch as exercise time flies by.
Before we know it, June will be here–Father’s Day looms large for all of us. We bring you a touching ode to dad, and hope it’ll inspire you to think about the man, the men, who’ve made a difference to you!
Also in June? Graduation, of course! Armonk schools rock, and we share some of the reasons why! From pre-school to and through the renowned Byram Hills High School, Armonk helps educate and grow tomorrow’s leaders and thinkers, future renaissance men and women!
Our congratulations and best wishes to this year’s graduating class! Remember, this isn’t just an end, it’s a brand new beginning.
Which brings us full circle. We invite you to celebrate yourselves, and celebrate along with us; you’ve an exciting new downtown and we’ve an exciting new magazine! Let’s make it a shared beginning to a companionable and thriving journey–one of discovery, support, healthy growth and happy ever-afters! Cheers…
