• What Killed Tops? (shawangunkjournal.com) — Tops Friendly Markets in Ellenville is closing, leaving the village without a full-service supermarket and forcing many residents, especially seniors without cars, to rely on Walmart or travel farther for groceries. Local officials are scrambling with Ulster County to attract a replacement store and improve transportation, while workers face long commutes to new assignments and businesses fear losing spillover customers.
   

• Ulster County Hosts Psychedelic Folk Singer (shawangunkjournal.com) — A rising psychedelic folk singer now living in Ulster County says she loves her rented cabin near Ellenville and how it fuels her creativity. Performing under the name Biita, she's just released a well-reviewed album and is heading to Europe, but hints she'd happily play a local Ellenville show if a venue steps up.
