Commercial Hub

---|
==Commercial hub==
Situated in the center of northern Westchester County, Mount Kisco is the "commercial hub" of northern Westchester. The shopping corridors are on South Moger Avenue and Main Street/Route 117, which are home to numerous locally owned upmarket boutiques, especially those dealing in designer clothing and home decor, and high-end chains, such as Banana Republic and Ann Taylor. The site of the former Manufacturer's Outlet Center today houses a Target, an A&P grocery store, and several small businesses that were temporarily displaced by the construction of said Target and A&P. This recent development, along with a past revitalization of the town's commercial districts, has increased Mount Kisco's tax base, bringing in a substantial amount of revenue. One negative side effect of the village's commercial viability has been its steady increase in car traffic since the mid-1990s. This is due to an increase in the development of surrounding towns, whose residents comprise Mount Kisco's consumer core. Congestion is said to be a common complaint among town residents, along with quality of life issues.

==Railroad service==
The New York and Harlem Railroad extended through Mt. Kisco in 1846. It eventually became part of the New York Central Railroad and then the Harlem Division of the present day MTA. The MTA provides frequent service to Grand Central Terminal in New York City. The Mt. Kisco station is at the business center of the town.

Jan Werich
[edit]Let's not forget a notable man living in Mount Kisco during the WWII, Jan Werich, his wife and a daughter. He was a Czechoslovak artist, clown, actor and author of theatre plays. He moved in after some time after he had been forced to move out from Czechoslovakia (right before Nazi occupation and a creation of the Protectorate), his family followed soon. He described his life in the USA in many audio documetaries, sadly in Czech language. He was employed in an agency that broadcasted to Europe during the war. Some sources where to look for relevant information: http://mluveny.panacek.com/mluvene-slovo-na-gramofonovych-deskach/88554-tato-povidej-1969-2013.html (interviews conducted by his daughter)

Remove Dale Bell from the notables?
[edit]Hi! I let this message here because I cannot write a note on your own page @Magnolia677. Just wanna know why removing Dale Bell is important. He worked on very famous projects. For example, he produced Woodstock (film), 2 Martin Scorsese films Mean Streets and Italianamerican. Of course you can find all the ressources with proofs on Dale's Wikipedia page. I also can note Our World (1967 TV program). Plus, he won an Oscars and been nominated for 2 Emmys. His work in the film industry is very important. Jiji62 (talk) 15:56, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
