That’s because Beth pays such close attention to each batch of many flavors of her bagels, that she will even adjust her dough prep based on the humidity outside. Bagel-ish bagels have this unique texture softness combo that leave you wanting another bite, and also wondering how it feels like you lowered your head onto the softest pillow, but you’re eating a salty bagel. A Little Beacon Blog welcomes Bagelish as a new sponsor of ALBB’s Things To Do In Beacon for our Restaurant Guide!

Things To Do In Beacon Guides 6/21/2024

Good news for this hot Friday slip and slide into the weekend! Columbia University has dropped trespassing charges against several protesters who took over a building on campus to rename it Hind's Hall. Hind was the little Palestinian girl who was trapped in her family's car after Israeli IDF killed everyone in it, as well as the Red Crescent EMS workers who tried to save her. The news was begrudgingly shared by past Dutchess County Executive, Marcus Molinaro, who was quite bummed about the trespassing charges on Columbia students being dismissed. Marcus is one of several New York Congresspeople who have accepted money from Israel's lobby in the United States, AIPEC, as reported for ALBB by Arvind Dilawar months ago. Stay tuned to our sister company, Tin Shingle, for an upcoming TuneUp with the photojournalist Alexa Blair Wilkinson, who was based in Beacon and then moved to Newburgh. With the rising cost of rent and all. Tin Shingle will also be interviewing Katie's cousin, Sarah Alami, the Palestinian American actress and activist who was in Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3. On ALBB's Instagram, Sarah commented: "Systemic racism is so deeply hard wired many people don’t even know that this is why they find brutal acts like this acceptable or justifiable. The good news is there is evidence that the brain can be adaptable. People can unlearn behavior. Even if it’s racism. However, we don’t have time for people to adapt to being better humans. This is why we need to educate now. " While you read all the things, you also have a new movie to watch tonight to decompress! Summer is here and we are loving every bit of enjoying the Hudson Valley festivities. The Beacon Sloop Club held their annual Strawberry Festival and will be hosting their Annual Corn Festival soon too! Plus, Beacon's Second Annual Juneteenth Festival was great.

Break Your Page! :: Retail Therapy Guide 6/1/2024

Happy Pride!! Today in Beacon is the Queer Liberation March. Details below! Last Sunday was a pleasant day in the Hudson Valley. Plenty of people enjoyed it outside for Memorial Day. Splash Down opened, and all felt right. Upon returning from the Lazy River, ALBB read, watched, absorbed the news that Rafah (the Israeli designated "safe zone" in Palestine that 1.5 million people were seeking refuge in (BBC) and lived in tents) was burning. Children's heads were decapitated. Palestinian people pulled charred bodies to dignity of any sort. We posted some of the photos on the blog. Then ALBB had a talk with their 6 year old, where they both decided there were 2 Americas. Many people around the world were so shocked. The Internet broke. Some people shut down. Other people rose up. For the first time, many people posted their dissent with the genocide on Gaza by Israel, which you can learn more about on Tin Shingle's blog. Here at ALBB, we narrowed our focus. We no longer grappled with the pendulum swing of feeling badly about incorporating Palestine into Beacon content. We went all out sharing more information from world leaders and thoughts from regular people in order to help stop this mass homicide and end this occupation. Most of what we have been posting at Instagram will be published onto the blog as well. Over at Instagram, ALBB declared that the best way to see lots of Beacon joy, you would be seeing it from our advertisers!! Because those are the only posts guaranteed to publish. Sponsored posts also serve as a much needed break and breather for those of us following and resisting the genocide and occupation. Most importantly, Beacon business highlights are a great source of hope and inspiration! We also made 2 cheerful videos for those thinking of speaking out for the first time. Those who want to break their Instagrams with information, declarations and messages. Here is the first video, and here is the second video, for if you have second thoughts. The World has broken. Palestine will be liberated, and we are unleashed but focused. Even the makeup creator Huda Beauty declared that she couldn't post about anything else for the time being, despite the launch of her new Blush Filter, and to look for news at their retailers. Thank you for being here, and look for our News Digest next! Beacuse yes, we are still blogging about Beacon news.

Screen This Film Tonight! :: Retail Therapy Guide 5/24/2024

Good News! A revival has happened after seeing the screening of "The Peekskill Riots" from filmmaker Jon Scott Bennett last evening at the Howland Public Library. This hidden Hudson Valley history is a must-see, and we recommend you spend an hour tonight or this weekend watching the first episode, which is 1 hour long. Here's what it's all about. ALBB will be at the screening of the 2nd episode, happening possibly at the Peekskill Library on June 8th, and we will be recording a podcast with the filmmaker to learn about his experience making this film, which included getting blocked to even find out more information about the event: "On August 27 and September 4th, 1949, violence broke out at two concerts held outside Peekskill, NY, headlined by Black singer, actor, and activist Paul Robeson. Citizens of Peekskill, galvanized by racist and anti-Semitic sentiments and disdain for Robeson’s left-wing views and campaign for civil rights, started two riots that resulted in hundreds of injuries, made national news, and unofficially marked the beginning of the McCarthy era, which would nearly erase Robeson from the public consciousness."

The Movie :: Retail Therapy Guide and Things To Do In Beacon 5/17/2024

The movie “There She Goes,” starring Rachael Leigh Cook (“She’s All That”) and Utkarsh Ambudkar (“Pitch Perfect” and "Ghosts") filmed in Beacon on Thursday, and it caused excitement and a stir. Main Street was closed between Wolcott (Bank Square Coffee) and Cross Street (Luxe Optique). While an "intermittent closure" was announced by the City of Beacon via their website one day before, and the production company gave letters about sidewalk disruptions to local businesses, the closure of daytime walking and browsing, not to mention driving, was a surprise to some business owners. Several stores did not see foot traffic as they usually do for a Thursday. A collection of people watching the filming. A Little Beacon Blog got a front row seat from inside Notions-N-Potions. We got to see the anticipated "throw the ice-cubes" scene, which included a surprise and unscripted duck into the witchy shop, much to our chagrin. Get the popcorn. Notions-N-Potions owner Sheryl Glickman recommends you watch the series "Ghosts" this weekend for more of Utkarsh Ambudkar. Watch the Beacon filming videos here.                                           THE EVENTS + RETAIL THERAPY GUIDE Stony Kill's Garden Plants For Sale 2 Days: Friday, May 17 1-5pm & Sunday May 19 11am-1pm Location: The Stony Kill Greenhouse, 79 Farmstead Lane Wappingers Falls, NY  Stony Kill has extra tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, cucumbers, squash, herbs, flowers and more for sale.

Howland Public Library Presents: Special Screening of "The Peekskill Riots" Episode One: The Mighty Oak in the Forest”

Special Screening of "The Peekskill Riots" Episode One: The Mighty Oak in the Forest” and Q&A with local Filmmaker Jon Scott Bennett**

The Howland Public Library is pleased to announce a special screening on Thursday, May 23rd at 6 PM of Episode One of the docu-series "The Peekskill Riots," followed by a Q&A session with Hudson Valley filmmaker Jon Scott Bennett.

The docu-series will shed light on the historic events of August and September 1949, when violence erupted at benefit concerts for the Civil Right Congress outside Peekskill, NY, featuring actor, singer, and activist Paul Robeson. Citizens of Peekskill, galvanized by racist and anti-Semitic sentiments and disdain for Robeson’s left-wing views and campaign for civil rights, started two riots that resulted in hundreds of injuries, made national news, and unofficially marked the beginning of the McCarthy era, which would nearly erase Robeson from the public consciousness.  

Through compelling storytelling and archival footage, Episode One serves as an introduction to Robeson's life and activism and the events leading up to the Peekskill concerts. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with Bennett in a thought-provoking Q&A session following the screening.

Join for an evening of education, reflection, and dialogue.

Film Screening, The Peekskill Riots, Episode One: The Mighty Oak in the Forest
Day: Thursday, May 23, 2024
Time: 6pm
Location: Howland Public Library, 313 Main Street, Beacon, NY 12508

A Meetup and the Met Gala :: Retail Therapy Guide 5/10/2024

Hello Late Night Friday! It's been a week. The Met Gala. The Internet was upset. Finally, people are protesting the Kardashians, and so many other celebrities (oh Brandi Carlile...for shame) for being silent on Palestine. Biden was called a lover of Hamas after sending Israel billions and billions of USA dollars to bomb and torture Palestinians, and finally, this US Official had some of himself crushed in the hands of the press as he avoided answering questions about Hind Rajab. She is that child, the 6 year old Hind Rajab, that Columbia student protesters named a building after (here is the message from Hind's mother). Normally we'd send this national fashion news via our sister company Tin Shingle, but you, Beacon, are our main focus in this time of "global news." And by "global news," you know what we mean. Palestine. Free Palestine.                                           THE EVENTS + RETAIL THERAPY GUIDE   Potluck Teach-In Protest Day: Saturday, May 11, 2024 Time: 11am-2pm Location: People’s Park, Newburgh, NY Join Next Step Hudson Valley in solidarity with marty’d mothers and mothers who’ve lost their children due to the collective punishment/war on Black and Brown women, and all of us in support of the Palestinian Liberation Movement.

Wed May 15. We will begin gathering at the Beacon train station at 4:45PM and will start walking to Pohill park once those joining us get off the 5:14PM train. You are also welcome to join us directly at Pohill park in Beacon at 5:00PM. In remembrance of the catastrophe that expelled over 760,000 Palestinians, wiped out 531 villages and killed 15,000 Palestinians and has resulted in over 7 million present-day refugees and a global Palestinian diaspora. As well as the on-going occupation, colonization and current genocide of the Palestine and the Palestinian people who remain on the land. We ask the Hudson Valley community to honor this day with us, with a walk in commemoration of the 76 year struggle of the Palestinian people, and a gathering in the park to share tea, stories and healing, followed by a candlelight vigil. *Please check back for any weather updates. *Art work created by Parisa Karami @parisakaramiinsta @shadowsofthesanjoaquin *Accessibility information to come via @celebrate.845   Business Member Meetup For A Little Beacon Blog's Advertisers Day: Thursday, May 16, 2024 Time: 5-7pm Location:  Beacon Bread, 193 Main Street You've asked for it, so we are giving it to you!
