    Nice story, albeit a bit sad. Small business owners like Gary are in many ways the heart and soul (and history) of these stations. Time marches on, business decisions are made, but its a loss for those of us that interacted with Gary or his father. Great guy, awesome low cost sugar wafers…he will be missed by myself and many fellow commuters.

    The Google map is pointing to the North White Plains Station. The White Plains station on the Metro North line is about a mils South of the bottom of the map. Thanks Google

      Yep, apparently putting “Train Station White Plains” for location puts the placemark there at North White. I had to manually place it to get it in the right spot. Thanks for letting me know.

    Whilst the closure of the store is sad, I did like the fact that in your photo one of the newspapers on sale has the headline “Fat Lady Sings”; quite apt.
